  • Bread of the world, in mercy broken,
    Wine of the soul, in mercy shed,
    By whom the words of life were spoken,
    And in whose death our sins are dead:
    Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
    Look on the tears by sinners shed;
    And be Thy feast to us the token
    That by Thy grace our souls are fed.
