# Tantum Ergo Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail. Lo! o’er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail. Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail. To the everlasting Father, And the Son who reigns on high, With the Holy Spirit proceeding Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen. V. You have given them bread from heaven, R/. Having all delight within it. Let us pray. O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of your Passion: grant, we implore you, that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of your Redemption. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen. --- *A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who* *1° receive Holy Communion for the first time or devoutly assist at the first Holy Communion of others; 2° on any of the Fridays of Lent devoutly recite after Communion the prayer En ego, O bone et dulcissime Iesu before a crucifix.* *§2 A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who, using any duly approved pious formula, make 1° an act of spiritual communion; 2° an act of thanksgiving after Communion (e.g., Anima Christi; En ego, O bone et dulcissime Iesu)._* [[after-mass-prayers|After Mass Prayers →]] Indulgence: This prayer is indulgenced according to the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, concessio 7 § 1 2° (Tantum Ergo).
