The Cup

For You, my Master, Jesus Christ,

Poor praises I employ;

You shed the blood of sacrifice

To bless the wine of joy.

Unsearchable, deep mystery!

Your temple I shall be;

Teach me to myself to die

That You may live in me!

When I drink the cup of every good

In remembrance all Divine,

May guilt be vanished as the blood,

And all I taste be wine.

Far beyond this earthly day

In Heaven high above,

This pledge shall take all fear away,

And quench my thirst for LOVE.
