1 Usiku ulipotolewa,
Yesu, umetugawia
mapato ya mateso yako,
tukumbuke kufa kwako.
Waaminio wakusifu
wakija karamuni kwako.

2 Tunakumbuka kufa kwako,
tukila mwili wako huu;
twapewa nguvu ya uzima
tukinywa damu yako hii.
Karamu hii tunayopewa
yatuonyesha pendo lako.

3 Huu mkate ni chakula kweli,
hii damu yatutuliza;
mioyo yetu yapumzishwa
tukila mezani kwako.
Tunaongezwa nguvu zetu,
za kukutegemea vema.

4 Twahirikiana nao wote
walio viungo vyako;
kwani tunashibishwa sote
kwa mwili na damu moja.
Tu kundi la mchungaji mmoja,
kwa hivi twapatana sote.

5 Twapewa mwili wako Bwana,
tujue kweli ya kwambaa
miili yetu ya unyonge
itageuka vizuri.
Tutapokea mwisho kwako
miili mipya ya uzima.

6 Watupa mema mengi Bwana
Mwana Kondoo wake Mungu
mwenyewe u chakula chetu,
kweli twatunzwa vizuri.
Twakila hapa kwa uchungu,
lakini kwako kwa furaha.
