BODY AND BLOOD

Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord
That we may eat and drink your charity,
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

For to You we are tied with crimson cord—
We in your priesthood share humility—
Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord.

A victim we become as Your life poured—
In heart of each Your sacrifice can see—
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

Our sacrifice for You is spirits poor
That others see You with more clarity—
Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord.

Through us Your Spirit for the world will soar
To fill the world with Holy Trinity,
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

Your hand in us takes up Your Spirit’s sword,
And we become who we are meant to be—
Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord,
As with our body, blood, we You adore.
