Christ We Do All Adore Thee

 

Christ, we do all adore thee,

and we do praise thee forever.

Christ, we do all adore thee,

and we do praise thee forever,

for on the holy cross

hast thou the world from sin redeemed.

Christ, we do all adore thee,

and we do praise thee forever...

Christ, we do all adore thee.

One of the best things about this beautiful tune is the part that you don't sing -- the pause before the last line. (When sung without the organ, that moment of reflective silence is powerful.)
