Sweet Sacrament Divine Songtext
von Ely Cathedral Choir

Sweet sacrament divine
Hid in thine earthly home
Lo, round thy lowly shrine
With suppliant hearts we come
Jesu, to thee our voice we raise
In songs of love and heartfelt praise
Sweet sacrament divine
Sweet sacrament divine


Sweet sacrament of peace
Dear home for every heart
Where restless yearnings cease
And sorrows all depart
There in thine ear all trustfully
We tell our tale of misery
Sweet sacrament of peace
Sweet sacrament of peace

Sweet sacrament of rest
Ark from the ocean′s roar
Within thy shelter blest
Soon may we reach the shore
Save us, for still the tempest raves
Save, lest we sink beneath the waves
Sweet sacrament of rest
Sweet sacrament of rest


Sweet sacrament divine
Earth's light and jubilee
In thy far depths doth shine
The Godhead′s majesty
Sweet light, so shine on us, we pray
That earthly joys may fade away
Sweet sacrament divine
Sweet sacrament divine
