Our high-walled fortress you have razed–
The walls built by our Adam’s sin—
And we awake from past so dazed
With hope we can begin again.
As we continue to awake
To life You give without those walls,
We drink Your Blood, our thirst will slake,
And Body eat as You each call.
Your new life comes, when walls are down,
From altar in the Catholic Church:
In water You our sins have drowned–
Arise from font, are by You touched.
We sing and feast along the road
With those who with us journey home,
And with us You will bear our load
As in You we ourselves become.
