O what a miracle, my Lord,
|
|
| 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. |
