Tune: Divine Mysteries
(\'Sweet Sacrament divine\')
********
Since you Lord, do us call
May we come, one and all
To your Communion feast
You bid greatest and least
And there to find the bread of life
To calm our trouble, ease our strife
And too wine here outpoured
We remember you, Lord
At your instituting
Sacrament you di bring
To eat and drink of you
It true is life anew
Eating, drinking, spiritually
This for bodies, souls, spirits be
A partaking, sharing
In these gifts you us bring
Though righteous judgement shown
By grace your mercies known
Forgiveness for each one
Possible through the Son
You the one who your life laid down
Experienced for us God\'s frown
Our sins taken away
Upon your cross-death day
Here riches bright and fine
When we to you align
And meditate a while
Where none can harm, defile
Welcomed each time by your good grace
By faith we do behold your face
Your Eucharistic* love
Shed on us holy dove (the Holy Spirit)
