 1 

O what a miracle, my Lord,

That I'm in Thee and Thou in me,

That Thou and I are really one;

O what a wondrous mystery!

 
 2 

For me Thy body Thou didst give,

That I may ever share in Thee;

For me Thy precious blood was shed,

That from my sins I might be free.

 
 3 

By resurrection Thou didst change

Thy form and as the Spirit come;

Thou wouldst that I be filled with Thee

That all Thy riches mine become.

 
 4 

Now as the symbols we behold,

Thy loving self we see anew;

We thank Thee for Thy heart's desire

As all Thy travail we review.

 
 5 

We eat the bread and drink the wine,

And to Thy sweetness we are led;

In spirit each receiving Thee,

Our spirits with Thyself are fed.

 
 6 

We long to eat and drink e'en more,

To take Thyself in spirit thus,

Till Thou shalt all our being fill

And true remembrance have from us.
