and when he had given thanks, 
he broke it and said,
R: This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L: In the same way also the cup, after supper saying,
R: This cup is the new covenant in my blood.  Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Taste and see that God is good

All who hunger, sing together,
Jesus Christi is living bread.
Come from loneliness and longing.
Here, n peace, we have been led.

live their days in gratitude.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.
