Jesus Christ our Savior,
From eternal wrath,
By his bitter suffering,
Us redeemèd hath.
He, lest we forget him,
Gave his blood and flesh;
We thereof partaking
May our souls refresh.
Bless and praise the Father,
That he feeds us thus,
That his Son was given
Unto death for us.
Trust and be not fearful,
'Tis the sick soul's food,
To the contrite bringing
Everlasting good.
It was for the sinner
Christ the Lord was slain;
Shall his blessèd dying
For us be in vain?
Let not fruit be wanting!
Others we will love,
That they in our living
Learn of God above.
John Hus
