Representative Text

1 Christ is the heavenly food that gives
to every famished soul
new life and strength, new joy and hope,
and faith to make them whole.

2 We all are made for God alone,
without him we are dead;
no food suffices for the soul
but Christ, the living bread.

3 Christ is the unity that binds,
in one the near and far;
for we who share his life divine
his living body are:

4 On earth and in the realms beyond
one fellowship are we;
and at his altar we are knit
in mystic unity.
