O, holiest of breads!
O, sweetest of wines!
Nay, mere bread and wine no longer,
for the lips of a priest
changed this food and drink
as a sacred oblation
a sacrifice
an extraordinary substance
which in man's intake
does not commit sin
but all the more sanctified
in its most correct context.
How people long to taste this
self-offering
which its Perpetrator
instructs his priests
to perpetuate this memorial
for eternity.
