German text Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet, der uns selber hat gespeiset mit seinem Fleische und mit seinem Blute; das gib uns, Herr Gott, zugute. Kyrieleison. Herr, durch deinen heiligen Leichnam, der von deiner Mutter Maria kam, und das heilige Blut hilf uns, Herr, aus aller Not. Kyrieleison.

English translation O Lord, we praise Thee, bless Thee, and adore Thee, In thanksgiving bow before Thee. Thou with Thy body and Thy blood didst nourish Our weak souls that they may flouish. O Lord, have mercy! May Thy body, Lord, born of Mary, That our sins and sorrows did carry, And Thy blood for us plead In all trial, fear, and need: O Lord, have mercy!
