You satisfy the hungry heart,

With gift of finest wheat,

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

The bread of life to eat.

We follow and rejoice.

With joyful lips we sing to you,

To share this heavenly food.

Is not the cup we bless and share,

The blood of Christ outpoured?

Do not one cup, one loaf, declare,

Dm G C

Our oneness in the Lord?

The mystery of your presence, Lord,

No mortal tongue can tell,

Whom all the world cannot contain,

Comes in our hearts to dwell.

You give yourself to us, O Lord;

Then selfless let us be,

To serve each other in your name,

Dm G C

In truth and charity.
