Transformed

The wine you give to cheer our hearts
     Has Your own Blood become—
Gives life to all who’re Body’s parts;
     In us your Body comes.

Your risen life we can consume
    To give to world through us;
In each of us You have made room
     Through Mary’s heart that trusts.

Her nature in Yourself you take,
     Joined with your ‘gotten life–
Two natures now one Person make–
     In world brings heaven’s light.

When we receive Your Body, Blood,
     Our nature is transformed—
Submits to death on Holy Rood:
     New Creature in us born.

Then hand-in-hand with You we go
     To heaven’s destiny;
Each one of us you’ll always know
     As you set each one free.
