Bread of the world, in mercy broken, Wine of the soul, in mercy shed, by whom the words of life were spoken, and in whose death our sins are dead: look on the heart by sorrow broken, look on the tears by sinners shed; and be thy feast to us the token that by thy grace our souls are fed.

O very God of very God, and very Light of Light, whose feet this earth’s dark valley trod that so it might be bright: Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong, thick darkness blinds our eyes; cold is the night; thy people long that thou, their Sun, wouldst rise.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus! Hail, thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us; thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou universal Savior, bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merit we find favor: life is given through thy Name.

Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old was strong to heal and save; it triumphed o’er disease and death, o’er darkness and the grave. To thee they went, the blind, the deaf, the palsied, and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick with fevered frame.
