1.
Become to us the living bread
by which the Christian life is fed,
renewed, and greatly comforted.  
Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!  

2.
Become the never-failing wine,
the spring of joy that shall incline
our hearts to bear the covenant sign.  
Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!  

3.
May Christians all with one accord
unite around the sacred board
to praise your holy name, O Lord.
Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!
