Godhead here in Hiding  (Adoro te devote)

Verse 1:
A                        D   E       A
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
A/C#                            D        E       A
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
A                 A/F#     D              E
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
 D                  Bm    E              A
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

Verse 2:
A                          D      E       A
Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
A/C#                            D        E       A
How says trusty hearing? That shall be believed;
A                 A/F#     D              E
What God's Son has told me, Take for truth I do;
D                     Bm               E        A
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

Verse 3:
A                         D      E       A
On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,
A/C#                    D        E       A
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
A             A/F#      D              E
both are my confession, both are my belief,
D                Bm    E              A
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

Verse 4:
A                        D   E         A
I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
A/C#                      D        E       A
But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;
A                   A/F#       D         E
This faith each day deeper be my holding of,
D               Bm    E              A
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

Verse 5:
A                    D   E       A
O thou our reminder Of Christ crucified,
A/C#                      D       E       A
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
A              A/F#          D              E
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,
D                   Bm       E                A
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

Verse 6:
A                       D      E      A
Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
A/C#                     D      E        A
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
A                 A/F#    D              E
someday to gaze on thee Face to face in light
D                Bm    E                A
And be blest for ever With thy glory's sight.
