O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of darkness
and of storms within and without.
O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of
adversities and floods of despair.
O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of falsehood and treason.
O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of
the darkness and godlessness which inundate the earth.
O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of the ravages of the enemy and the efforts of hell.
O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the Body and Blood
of the Lord Jesus as proof of infinite mercy for us,
and especially for poor sinners. (356)
