OHT Incipit:

Bread of the King for mercy broken,
Wine of our Lord in suff'ring bled
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose grave our sins lie dead.
Body of Jesus strength bestowing,
Blood on the cross for us once shed,
Salvation for the sheep now flowing,
Christ present in this wine and bread.
