Here is a lovely eucharistic piece by Richard Proulx, his setting<\/a> of one of his favorite texts.<\/p>\n

Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands
\nThat holy things have taken;
\nAnd let ears that heard your most holy word
\nTo lesser things never waken.<\/p>\n

Lord, may tongues which \u2018Holy\u2019 sang
\nBe free from all deceiving;
\nMay eyes which saw your love be bright
\nHeavenly hope perceiving.<\/p>\n

And may feet that walked along hallowed courts
\nFrom your true light never be banished.
\nMay bodies by your Body fed
\nBe with your new life replenish. Amen.<\/p>\n
