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.
