Sanctus Sanguinis

O blessed Blood, most pure and bright
Poured forth from Heaven’s sacred rite
Thy crimson tide, our sins doth cleanse
In Thee, O Christ, our hope begins

Thy chalice raised in holy hands
Doth shine with love, an eternal plan
We drink, O Lord, and hearts are stirred
By sacred wine and holy Word

O Blood of Lamb, O Blood divine
Thy mercy flows, transcendent sign
In sacrifice, Thou hast been slain
And through Thy Blood, sangreal pain

In mystic form, Thy Flesh we take
Thy Blood doth heal the hearts that ache
By faith we taste salvation’s grace
And see Thy glory face to face

O fount of life, O chalice blessed
By Thee, our weary souls find rest
Grant us, O Lord, this grace profound
Thy holy Blood, in mercy bound
