I'VE RECEIVED THE LIVING BREAD

I’ve received the living Bread and my heart is filled with joy. (2)

Every one who lives in me shall obtain eternal life. (2)

He says to me: I am the Bread

Which I give to feed your soul:

He who eats of this my flesh,

Will attain the heav’nly goal.

He says to me: I am the Vine

Which will nourish every shoot;

As it feeds upon my sap,

It will give abundant fruit.

He says to me: I am the Life

Which destroys eternal doom;

Whosoever lives in me,

Will rise like me from the tomb.

He says to me: I am the Way

Where my Father waits for you;

If you follow in my steps,

You will see me with him too.

He says to me: I am the Light

In the darkness of your night;

Whosoever welcomes me,

Will be led on paths aright.
