1.
Gladly now we share communion,
With the bridegroom and the bride;
Here we all meet one another;
And in charity abide;
Let us in this bread encounter,
Christ our partner and our guide.
2.
Once again the feast of Cana,
Is enacted in our sight:
Christ is bringing forth the best wine
At this sacred marriage rite;
In his blood begins the New Law,
And all men with God unite.
3.
By this Eucharistic banquet,
All the Church to Christ is wed;
For the Father in the Spirit,
gives his Son as daily bread;
Now we are a new creation,
And to God’s own heart are led.
4.
Christ is here, alive among us,
In his friendship we rejoice;
Let us act upon our union,
For his love leaves us no choice,
But to answer him together,
When we hear the bridegroom’s voice.
