 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.
