Lord Who at thy First Eucharist Lyrics

1. Lord, who at Thy first Eucharist didst pray

That all Thy Church might be forever one,

Grant us at every Eucharist to say

With longing heart and soul,

“Thy will be done”.

O May we all, one bread, one body be,

Thro’ this blest Sacrament of Unity.

2. For all thy Church, O Lord we intercede,

Make Thou our lack of charity to cease.

Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,

By drawing all to Thee, O prince of Peace,

Thus may we all one bread, one body be,

Thro’ this blest Sacrament of unity.

3. We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold,

O bring them back, good shepherd of the sheep,

Back to the faith which saints believed of old.

Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep,

Soon may we all one bread, one body be,

Thro’ this blest Sacrament of Unity.

4. So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,

May we be one with all thy Church above,

One with thy Saints in one unbroken peace,

More blessed still, in peace and love to be,

One with the Trinity in Unity.
