Break the bread, drink the wine, holy feast, sacred sign;

Sorrow's cross now recall;
Christ the Lord died for all;
Faithful folk, great and small, thankful be.
Bend the knee, sin confess, humble hearts now express;
Mercy filled, God will bless graciously.
Rise and go, born anew, purified thru and thru;
Evermore good pursue joyfully.
