O precious Lord, once born for usin stable small and poor;be born again within our hearts,and there let us adore.As once our Savior thou didst come,both Man and God divine,so now thou givest Flesh and Blood'neath forms of Bread and Wine.Sweet Fruit of Virgin Mary's womb,once hid from earthly sight,may we thy children fruitful be,and show the world thy Light.Now stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ,in solemn Mystery,that when our work on earth be donethy glory we may see.Text: Fr. Christopher G. PhillipsMusic: St. Botolph, by Gordon Slater

O precious Lord...
I've posted this text before, but people seem to like it. We sang it today as a post-communion hymn.
