to R.L.
Paschal Lamb who ere the Sacrifice
fed us with your flesh, your blood
given to redeem our souls,
repeated giving in persona Christi
when bread and wine a priest consecrates,
bidding us eat the Body, the Blood,
partake of God’s Lamb;
sanctify us, anima Christi
rooting out cause of repeated sin.
Priest and Sacrifice, Lamb of God,
final oblation, sin-off’ring eternal
on the Cross accomplished,
when your cry triumphant
in our minds echoes
from malignant foe
our spirits are freed.
In your pierced heart
our hearts conceal;
unite our souls with Him who gave them
life at the start, renewed every time
we eat your Body, drink of your Blood,
O Paschal Lamb.
