Viaticum Poem by Patrick Fealy

Jesus lamb of Sacrifice lamb of God indeed
Give us your communion lord the sacrament we need
Come unto our dying breath. Place it on our tongue
May it be our last request may thy kingdom come
Grant us just this mystery Pan Angelicus
Sacred Bread of Angels now holding every truth
Put us in the state of grace in that state to stay
Keep us from all sacrilege Jesus Christ I pray
Maker of the maiden mild Mother of the Son
Lover of the Father's love Theotokos come
You who magnify the lord one God made of three
Pray for us in that accord that we might agree
Precious body broken now that all might live
Pardon us of every wrong all our sins forgive
Steal us into paradise if tonight we fall
To the breast of Abraham everyone and all
Bring the beauty of the saints clearly into view
Worshiping the lamb of God in everything they do
Number us among them now even here on earth
Give to us our daily bread quench our every thirst
