| 1 | Dear Lord, we thank Thee for this bread, |
| | | It is a sign divine; |
| | In it we see the mysteries |
| | | Of God’s unique design. |
| 2 | This bread Thy body signifies, |
| | | Which Thou hast giv’n for us, |
| | That we may share Thy life divine, |
| | | Partaking of Thee thus. |
| 3 | For us Thy body Thou didst break |
| | | That Thou may thus impart |
| | Thyself as life to us that we |
| | | May be Thy counterpart. |
| 4 | This bread thus also signifies |
| | | Thy body mystical, |
| | Of which we living members are, |
| | | With Thee identical. |
| 5 | Though we are many grains of wheat, |
| | | Yet all one loaf, one bread; |
| | Remembering Thee in such a way, |
| | | With Thee we all are fed. |
| 6 | As of this bread we all commune, |
| | | Thou, Lord, dost satisfy; |
| | With all the saints we fellowship, |
| | | And Thee we testify. |
