COMMUNION 1 Corinthians 11:24–25

Hoc Corpus, quod pro vobis tradetur: hic calix novi testamenti est in meo Sanguine, dicit Dominus; hoc facite, quotiescumque sumitis, in meam commemorationem.

This is the Body that will be given up for you; this is the Chalice of the new covenant in my Blood, says the Lord; do this, whenever you receive it, in memory of me.

CHOIR William Byrd (c.1540–1623)

Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine: Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine: Cujus latus perforatum, unda fluxit sanguine: Esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine. O dulcis, O pie, O Jesu Fili Mariæ, miserere mei.

Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary, Who has truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mortals, Whose side was pierced, whence flowed water and blood: Be for us a foretaste of heaven during our final examining. O sweet, O pure, O Jesus, Son of Mary, have mercy upon me.

The Holy Eucharist William H. Harris (1883–1973)

Him holy in him abide Eternal soul in him you hide All your sin on God laid bare Receiving life he longs to share.

Him holy in him abide O Christian souls his body live Who in him to Father make The sacrifice of Incarnate.

Him holy in him abide Heaven home in him alive Holy love one body make Joying souls new blessing wake.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION

T H E T R A N S F E R O F T H E M O S T B L E S S E D S A C R A M E N T

The Blessed Sacrament is carried through the church in procession to the place of repose. All sing the Hymn. Following each verse, the choir sings a fauxbourdon verse.

Sing, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory, Of his flesh the myst’ry sing: Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destined, for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring.

Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born for us on earth below, He, as man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then he closed in solemn order Wondrously his life of woe.

On the night of that Last Supper Seated with his chosen band, He, the Paschal victim eating, First fulfills the Law’s command; Then as food to his apostles Gives himself with his own hand.

Word made flesh, the bread of nature By his word to flesh he turns; Wine into his blood he changes; What though sense no change discerns? Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns.

When the procession reaches the place of repose, all sing:

Tantum ergo Sacraméntum Venerémur cérnui: Et antíquum documéntum Novo cédat ritui: Praestet fides suppleméntum Sénsuum deféctui.

Genitóri, Genitóque Laus et jubilátio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedíctio: Procedénti ab utróque Compar sit laudátio. Amen.

Text: Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), tr. Edward Caswall (1814–1878) Tune: PANGE LINGUA SACRAMENTUM, Chant, Mode III, Fauxbourdon attr. to G.P. da Palestrina (c.1525–1594)
