Crushed the grain, his earthly life

Crushed the grain, his earthly life -
bread for the new creation;
his body given, manna for all,
broken for our salvation.

Pressed the grapes, yielding the wine -
drink for the new creation;
his blood which flowed in the life of God
laid down for our salvation.
