Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament & Benediction
O Salutaris
O Saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of Heaven to man below;
Our foes press hard on every side;
Thine aid supply; they strength bestow.
To thy great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three.
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with thee.
AmenEucharistic Exposition and Benediction
The priest adds incense to the thurible and incenses the Blessed Sacrament as all recite:
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui,
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui;
Praestest fides suplementum,
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benediction:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen

You have given them Bread from heaven.
People:
Having all Sweetness within it.

Let us pray.

your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of
your body and blood help us to experience the salvation you won
for us and the peace of the kingdom where you live with the
Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.People:
