Both good and bad to this bless'd banquet come
But how unlike! how different their doom!
For 'tis as we approach-as foes or friends
The alternative of life or death depends.

The heavenly bread, that sweet enlivening food,
Is to the unworthy death. life to the good:
Then ponder well the different event,
Of like receiving this dread Sacrament.

Whenever this bless'd Sacrament shall lie
In different parcels broke before your eye,
Then waver not, remember there remains
Under each fragment what the whole contains,
The same sweet Jesus, who in glory reigns.

The hidden jewel no fracture can invade,
'Tis only on the outward species made;
No stroke impairs its stature or its state,
Or the thing signified can violate.

Lo! then, O man! involved in rapture see,
The bread of angels thus made food for thee.
Food to refresh the pilgrim on his way
To the bless'd regions of eternal day:
A sweet viatic and divine repast,

True children's bread, to dogs not to be cast.

Wrapt up in types, the Lamb long figured lay,
Till circling years the shadows drove away.
In Isaac 'twas in lively figure slain,

And in the paschal Lamb it bled again
The ancient fathers too in manna ate,

In type or figure, this life-giving meat.

}

Good Pastor, then, true bread, sweet Jesus, show

Thy tenderest mercies on thy sheep below;

Feed and defend us here, that we may see

Good things with those, who live and reign with thee
In heavenly regions, ever there to spend,
With pure celestial zest, joys ne'er to end.

O Thou, all-good, all-potent, and all-wise,
Who feed'st us here with thine own sacrifice,
Make us sit down with thee amongst the bless'd,
At thine own table, in eternal rest:

Where we with them thy glory may adore,
Companions and co-heirs, for evermore. Amen.
