(taken from a 1949 pamphlet on the Prayer Book)
"Take, eat." But pause — this is not Bread
For narrow need or sheltered shrine.
"Drink — drink ye all." Pass, in His stead,
To waiting ranks the common wine.
Gather unto the hands you lift
Hands hollowed by a bitter food,
And multiply again the Gift
Once broken for the multitude.
Hunger meets hunger; thirst is led
To thirst, and at the altar meet.
Partakers of the living Bread,
"Give them to eat, give them to eat"
