At that first Eucharist before you died

Lyrics

  1. At that first Eucharist before you died,
    O Lord, you prayed that all be one in you;
    At this our Eucharist again preside,
    And in our hearts your law of love renew.
    Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be;
    Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
  2. For all your church, O Lord, we intercede;
    O make our lack of charity to cease;
    Draw us the nearer each to each we plead,
    By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace.
    Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be;
    Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
  3. We pray for those who wander from the fold;
    O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep.
    Back to the faith which saints believed of old,
    Back to the Church which still that faith does keep.
    Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be;
    Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
