United in one body

St. Ignatius of Antioch

United in one body with Jesus Christ the Lord,
we bring to You our offering of bread and wine, O God.

  1. We are the wheat of Christ:
    If we be ground in the mill of life,
    May we be found pure bread.
  2. We are the grape of Christ:
    If we be crushed in the wine-press of suffering,
    May we be found pure wine.
  3. We are the Body of Christ:
    We must expect a share in His sorrow,
    If we must rise Him.
