Ye Holy Ones come forth:
Eat ye the body of Christ
Drink ye the Holy Blood,
Ye who are redeemed.
For the Body and Blood
Of Christ the Savior
From which we are fed
Let us give praises to God.
By this Sacrament
Of the Body and Blood
All are drawn out
Of the jaws of Hell.
The bestower of Salvation,
Christ, the Son of God,
Has saved the world
Through the Cross and Blood.
For the Universe
The Lord was sacrificed
He Himself, ariseth:
The Priest and Victim.
Under the Law of the Precepts
Were victims sacrificed
Which foreshadowed
The Divine Mystery.
The bestower of Light
And Savior of all,
Has poured forth excellent
Grace upon the Saints.
All those approach
Who believe with pure mind
They consume the eternal
Custodian of Salvation.
The Guardian of the Saints
Both guide and Lord,
Doth pour Life Eternal
Upon those who believe.
Heavenly Bread
He giveth to the hungry
From the Living Font
supplies those who thirst.
Alpha and Omega
Himself, Christ the Lord
Came and will come
to judge men.
