Eucharistic Meditations

Eighteen

  1. Body and blood,
    The Word made Flesh,
    How can such torture
    Quicken and refresh?
    No other tribute
    But His cruel Cross
    Was fit redemption
    Of Adam's blessed loss.
  2. Body and blood
    Of form divine,
    Clothed in the accidents
    Of bread and wine:
    No other banquet
    But this mystery
    Is fit tribute
    Of Him who died for me.
