Godhead here in Hiding (Adoro te devote)

Verse 1:
A            D  E    A
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
A/C#              D    E    A
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
A         A/F#   D       E
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
 D         Bm  E       A
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

Verse 2:
A             D   E    A
Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:
A/C#              D    E    A
How says trusty hearing? That shall be believed;
A         A/F#   D       E
What God's Son has told me, Take for truth I do;
D           Bm        E    A
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

Verse 3:
A             D   E    A
On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,
A/C#          D    E    A
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
A       A/F#   D       E
both are my confession, both are my belief,
D        Bm  E       A
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

Verse 4:
A            D  E     A
I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
A/C#           D    E    A
But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;
A          A/F#    D     E
This faith each day deeper be my holding of,
D        Bm  E       A
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

Verse 5:
A          D  E    A
O thou our reminder Of Christ crucified,
A/C#           D    E    A
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
A       A/F#     D       E
Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,
D          Bm    E        A
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

Verse 6:
A            D   E   A
Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,
A/C#           D   E    A
I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,
A         A/F#  D       E
someday to gaze on thee Face to face in light
D        Bm  E        A
And be blest for ever With thy glory's sight.
