Original text and translations

English text

Holy God, we offer here
Jesu's death our sins to clear,
Jesu's life our life to be,
Jesu's love the world to free.
Stay the faithful, win the strayed,
bless the living and the dead.
Father lead us,
Saviour feed us,
Spirit be our store,
now and evermore.

Lord, unite us every one
each to other, through thy Son;
join us truly heart to heart,
let us ne'er be drawn apart:
all one bread, one body we,
bound by love to all and thee.
Blessèd Master,
bind us faster;
in thy love divine,
love we thee and thine!
