O Thou who this mysterious bread Didst in Emmaus break, Return, herewith our souls to feed, And to thy followers speak. Unseal the volume of thy grace, Apply the gospel word, Open our eyes to see thy face, Our hearts to know the Lord. Of thee communing still, we mourn Till thou the veil remove; Talk with us, and our hearts shall burn With flames of fervent love. Enkindle now the heavenly zeal, And make thy mercy known, And give our pardoned souls to feel That God and love are one.
