[Verse 1]
See us Lord, about your altar,
Though so many we are one.
Many souls by love united
In the heart of Christ, Your Son.

[Verse 2]
Hear our prayers, O loving Father,
Hear in them Your Son, our Lord.
Hear Him speak our love and worship
As we sing with one accord.

[Verse 3]
Wheat and grape contain the meaning;
Food and drink, He is to all.
One in Him, we kneel adoring
Gathered by His loving call.

[Verse 4]
Hear us yet; so much is needed;
In our frail, disordered life.
Stay with us and tend our weakness
Till that day of no more strife.

[Verse 5]
Members of His mystic body;
Now we know our prayer is heard.
Heard by You because your children
Have received th'eternal Word.
