Gladly now we share communion
With the bridegroom and the bride;
Here we all meet one another
And in charity abide;
Let us in this bread encounter
Christ, our partner and our guide.

Once again the feast of Cana
Is enacted in our sight;
Christ is bringing forth the best wine
At this sacred marriage rite,
In his blood begins the New Law,
And all men with God unite.

By this Eucharistic banquet,
All the Church to Christ is wed;
For the Father in the Spirit
Gives his Son as daily bread;
Now we are a new creation,
And to God's own heart are led.

Christ is here, alive among us,
In his friendship we rejoice,
Let us act upon our union,
For his love leaves us no choice
But to answer him together
When we hear the bridegroom's voice.
