Os Grãos Que Formam Espigas

The grains that form ears of corn
Come together to become bread
The men who are church
Unite through offering

Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother

The grain fallen to the ground
Only lives if it dies
It is by giving that one receives
By dying, one will live

Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother

The wine and bread we offer
Are our answers of love
Humbly we ask
Accept us, O Lord

Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother

Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother

Before the altar, Lord
I understand my vocation
I must sacrifice
My life for my brother
