was once a seed that’s sown. Then grew and yielded on the ground and gathered for all men. The wine by your cup was once a vine that crept, then grew and bore good fruits for men a symbol of Your blood. Of that seed we eat Your body, our bread of life. Of that wine we drink Your blood, the wine of new covenant. Accept Lord we offer, the seeds and wines of the life. Expression of our gratitude we consecrate to You. Of that seed we eat Your body, our bread of life. Of that wine we drink Your blood, the wine of new covenant.
