Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction

Once the celebrant has reached the front of the altar and kneels:

O Saving Victim is sung by the congregation

O saving victim, open wide ->

The gate of heaven to us below

Our foes press on from every side ->

Your aid supply, your strength bestow

To your great name be endless praise ->

Immortal Godhead, One in Three

O grant us endless length of days ->

In our true native land with thee. Amen

The Eucharist is

The Real Presence of Chirst

In Adoration there may be:

appropriate prayers, songs, readings from scripture, and a brief homily to help the congregation focus its attention to the worship of the Lord

After the celebrant goes to the alter, genuflects, and keels:

All kneel and join in singing the Tantum Ergo

After the presider has blessed everyone:

he will come back in front of the alter and knell and lead everyone in the Divine Praises

When the priest or deacon has blessed everyone:

He them replaces the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and genuflects, all stand and join in singing

Holy God, we praise thy name ->

Lord of all, we bow before thee

All on earth they scepter claim ->

All in heaven above adore thee

Infinite they vast domain ->

Everlasting is thy reign!

All remain kneeling when the presider stands and says:

You have given them Bread from heaven
