in all of our days let us be glad

for the days wherein Thou hast humbled us

For the years wherein we have seen evil

And look upon Thy servants

and upon Thy works

and do guide their sons

Service of Vespers : Wednesday of Holy Week

Christ the Divine and Heavenly Bread

Gives food to all the world

Come then O lovers of Christ

and in our mouths of clay

but with pure hearts

let us receive in faith the Passover

that is sacrificed and offered in our midst
