Fifteen Minutes of Heaven

By a Student of Mater Dei Academy.

Fifteen minutes of heaven are given to me each day.
A sweet quarter of an hour when the whole world fades away.
It is those few sublime moments that I love the best,
When I hold the God of heaven, within my poor breast.
I Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament Divine!
All on earth is loss to me; make me only Thine.

Humanity, divinity are both disguised.
What senses fail to grasp, faith supplies.
My Savior, my Sanctifier, my Beloved He shall be.
He is here, He is here! And this is heaven to me.
O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament Divine!
He has come to earth for me in this wondrous design
