Each pace, I'm more afraid
Used to spit on You, kiss Your face
Deny You, hide in shame
Burn me not as I partake
I will not speak a word to Your enemies
Like the thief, will You remember me?
You are a fire consuming the unworthy
Let Your Body unite with mine and nourish me
I am the son of Thy Handmaid
I've lifted my gates
My vows will I pay
How can I dare
To approach Thee
When I've succumbed to the weight
Thou Who wast incarnate
For my sake
Who didst will to be slain
Purify my heart
Make it without spot
Thy Body and Blood vouchsafe
Abide in me
As I eat
Vile though I be
Accept me
On Thy Body
I feed
Thy Blood my drink
Dread Holy Mystery
Receive me, without judging
Who has confessed to Thee
What is Holy is for the Holy
Yet I dare to eat
May I serve Thee without ceasing
Dwelling with My King
May I take all of Thee
With fear and trembling
True God of true God
Light of Light
Bloodlessly bleeds
Breaks His Body as sacrifice
Died one time for all time
Consumed Death by His Life
Through these Gifts and His Bride
May I be deified
My God, my God
Don't forsake me
Let me partake
Let me taste and see
Be not angry, With me greatly
Deliver me from my enemies
Grant me Thy servant
To receive Thy Holy Things
I believe this is truly Thy most pure Body
And this is truly Thine own precious Blood
I partake of Thy Mysteries unto life eternal
The servant of God, John
