And with fear and trembling stand;
\n
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
\n
For with blessing in his hand
\n
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
\n
Our full homage to demand.<\/p>\n
\n
As of old on earth He stood,
\n
Lord of lord in human vesture,
\n
In the body and the blood.
\n
He will give to all the faithful
\n
His own self for heavenly food.<\/p>\n
\n
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
\n
As the Light of light descendeth
\n
From the realms of endless day,
\n
That the powers of hell may vanish
\n
As the darkness clears away.<\/p>\n
\n
Cherubim, with sleepless eye,
\n
Veil their faces to the Presence,
\n
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
\n
Alleluia, Alleluia,
\n
Alleluia, Lord most high.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
