WELCOME, Lord, in form of Bread,
Thou the Living, Thou the Dead,
Jesu, Thee we name!
Thou, One God in Persons Three,
Lord, have Mercy upon me,
Shield me here from shame!

Thou the Sole-Begotten Son,
With the Spirit, Three in One,
Crowned King art Thou!
Man of more than mortal Might,
God of God, and Light of Light,
Born of Mary now!

Jesu, hail! we worship Thee!
Fairest Blossom on Life's tree,
Hail! Thy message fair!
Hail! the Fruit, and hail! the Flower,
Be our Saviour in this hour,
Lord of Earth and Air!

Hail! Thou King of Life and Light!
Hail! Thou Man of Deathless Might,
Prince enthroned and crowned!
Hail! Thou Mighty Conqueror!
Hail! be Thou the Governor
Of this wide world round!

Holy Flesh, and Holy Blood,
God and Man, be Thou our Food,
Jesu, King of Kings!
Hail! Thou Born of Maiden mild,
Very God and very Child,
Maker of all things!

Hail! thou Rose upon the Bough,
Here as Man we hail Thee now,
For us wert Thou dead!
Hail! Thou God of endless Might,
Son of God, in Glory bright,
Hail! in form of Bread!
