ST. THOMAS AQUINAS'S HYMN FOR CORPUS CHRISTI.
1.Of the glorious body bleeding
O! my tongue the mystery sing,
And the blood all price exceeding,
Which for this world's ransoming
From a noble womb proceeding
Jesus shed, the Gentiles' King.
2.Given for us, for us descended
Of a maid from evil freed,
And His life on earth expended
Scattering the word's blest seed,
His career at length He ended
Wonderful in word and deed.
3.At the last sad supper seated.
Circled by His chosen band,
Moses' law in full completed
