1 May God be prais'd henceforth and blest forever Who, himself both gift and giver, With his own flesh and blood cur souls doth nourish ;
May they grow thereby and flourish By thy holy body, Lord, the same Which from thine own mother Mary came j By the drops thou didst bleed,
Help US in the hour of need 2 Thou hast to death thy holy body given, Life to w'm for us in heaven ; By stronger love, dear Lord, thou couldst not bind us,
Whereof this should well remind us.
Lord, thy love constrain'd thee for our good Mighty things to do by thy dear blood ; Thou hast paid all we owed, Thou hast made our peace with God.
3 May God bestow on us his grace and blessing, That, his holy footsteps tracing, We walk as brethren dear in love and union,
Nor repent this sweet communion.
Let not US the Holy Ghost forsake May he grant that we the right way take That thy poor church may see Days of peace and unity.
