Representative Text

1
From many grapes and grains of wheat,
One host we bring to Thee our God;
Transform, we pray, this humble gift
To Jesus' precious flesh and blood.

2
Together, with this bread and wine,
We consecrate all that we are;
Impart to us the life divine
Of Him who joined us from afar.

3
For all Thy Church we pray to Thee,
Unite her, guiding from above,
And may we all one body be
In Christ's unbounded peace and love.
