Hidden God: Adoro Te Devote lyrics
by Ferdinand M. Bautista
[Chorus]
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You
Truly present underneath these veils
All my heart subdues itself before You
Since it all before You faints and fails
[Verse 1]
Not to sight, or taste, or touch be credit
Hearing only do we trust secure
I believe, for God the Son has said it
Word of God forever shall endure
[Chorus]
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You
Truly present underneath these veils
All my heart subdues itself before You
Since it all before You faints and fails
[Verse 2]
On the Cross was veiled Your Godhead's splendor
Here, Your Manhood lies hidden too
Unto both alike my faith, I render
And as sued the contrite thief, I sue
[Chorus]
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You
Truly present underneath these veils
All my heart subdues itself before You
Since it all before You faints and fails
[Verse 3]
Though I look not on Your wonds like Thomas
You, my Lord, and You, my God, I call
Make me more and more believe your promise
Hope in You and love You over all
[Chorus]
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You
Truly present underneath these veils
All my heart subdues itself before You
Since it all before You faints and fails
[Verse 4]
O Memorial of My Savior dying
Living Bread, that gives life to man
Make my soul, its life from You supplying
Taste Your sweetness, as on earth it can
[Chorus]
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You
Truly present underneath these veils
All my heart subdues itself before You
Since it all before You faints and fails
