See us, Lord, about thine altar,
though so many, we are one,
many souls by love united
In the heart of Christ, thy Son.

Hear our pray'rs, O loving Father,
Hear in them thy Son, our Lord,
Hear him speak our love and worship,
As we sing with one accord.

Once were seen the blood and water,
Now he seems but bread and wine,
Then in human form he suffered;
Now his form is but a sign.

Wheat and grape contain the meaning,
Food and drink he is to all,
One in him, we kneel adoring
Gathered by his loving call.

Hear us yet; so much is needful
In our frail, disordered life;
Stay with us and tend our weakness
Till that day of no more strife.

Members of his mystic body,
Now we know our pray’r is heard,
Heard by thee because thy children
Have received th'eternal word.
