Adoration prayers
Keep these hymns close while you remain in the quiet room. They may be used at the beginning or end of prayer, or simply read slowly as an act of Eucharistic love.
Source note: these are traditional Eucharistic hymn texts. The exact English translation source should remain documented before adding more hymn lyrics.
O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of heaven to us below.
Our foes press on from every side;
Your aid supply, your strength bestow.
To your great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with thee.
Amen.
Down in adoration falling,
This great Sacrament we hail;
Over ancient forms of worship
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith will tell us Christ is present,
When our human senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who made us free,
And the Spirit, God proceeding
From them Each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen.
Holy God, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before thee;
All on earth thy scepter claim;
All in heaven above adore thee.
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.
Hark, the loud celestial hymn;
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heavens with sweet accord: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord!"
Adoration rhythm
Keep a simple Holy Hour rhythm: open the stream, remain with Jesus in silence, and close with thanksgiving.
