The ransomed Isaac, and his ram; The Manna, and the Paschal Lamb. Jesu Master, just and true! Our Food, and faithful Shepherd too! O let that love which thus makes thee Mix with our low Mortality, Lift our lean Souls, and set us up Convictors of thine own full cup, Coheirs of Saints. That so all may Drink the same wine; and the same way. Nor change the Pasture, but the Place To feed of Thee in thine own Face. O dear Memorial of that Death Which lives still, and allows us breath! Rich, Royal food! Bountiful Bread! Whose use denies us to the dead! 5

6 Live ever Bread of loves, and be My life, my soul, my surer self to me. Help Lord, my Faith, my Hope increase; And fill my portion in thy peace. Give love for life; nor let my days Grow, but in new powers to thy name and praise. Rise, Royal Sion! rise and sing Thy soul s kind shepherd, thy heart s King. Stretch all thy powers; call if you can Harps of heaven to hands of man. This sovereign subject sits above The best ambition of thy love. Lo the Bread of Life, this day s Triumphant Text provokes thy praise. The living and life-giving bread, To the great twelve distributed When Life, himself, at point to die Of love, was his own Legacy. O soft self-wounding Pelican! Whose breast weeps Balm for wounded man. All this way bend thy benign flood To a bleeding Heart that gasps for blood. That blood, whose least drops sovereign be To wash my worlds of sins from me. Come love! Come Lord! and that long day For which I languish, come away. When this dry soul those eyes shall see, And drink the unseal d source of thee. When Glory s sun faith s shades shall chase, And for thy veil give me thy Face. Amen. [From Richard Crashaw s versions of St Thomas Aquinas s hymns Adoro te devote, Latens Deitas and Lauda Sion Salvatorem] 6

I come with Christians far and near To find, as all are fed, The new community of love In Christ s communion bread. As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, Each proud division ends. That love that made us, makes us one, And strangers now are friends. And thus with joy we meet our Lord, His presence, always near, Is in such friendship better known; We see and praise him here. Together met, together bound, We ll go our different ways, And as his people in the world We ll live and speak his praise. [Brian Wren b. 1936] 7

Lift up your heads, ye lasting doors, they sing, And let the King of glory enter in. Methinks I see heaven s sparkling courtiers fly In flakes of glory down him to attend, And hear heart-cramping notes of melody Surround his chariot as it did ascend, Mixing their music, making every string More to enravish as they this tune sing.
