Your flesh dwells within me
Your breath my life now be
My heart is with one accord
Whence receiveth Thy Holy Word
Overabundant be Thy Grace

All contained within suffice
To sustain me for this life
And upon death’s calling
The greatest joy befalling
Bring me to the Holy Land
Forever with Father, Spirit, and Son of Man
