Lyrics:

Refrain: Precious body, Precious Blood here in bread and wine.
Here the Lord prepares the feast divine.
Bread of Love is broken now; Cup of Life is poured.
Come, share the Supper of the Lord.

1. This is the bread of God coming down from heaven,
giving life to us, to all the world.

2. "I am the living spring of eternal life;
you that drink from me shall not thirst again."

3. "I am the bread of heaven giving life to you;
you that eat this bread shall never die."

4. "All those who feed on me have their life in me,
as I have my life in the living God."

5. All praise to you, O Christ, present in this feast,
in this bread we share in one life, one Lord.
