  At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from His piercèd Side; Praise we Him, whose love divine, Gives His sacred Blood for wine, Gives His Body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest.

He was a young man, and I could see fear in his eyes as he gripped the railings of the bed and struggled to breathe, sucking in heavily through the plastic mask feeding him oxygen. His body was wasting away from cancer, and the infections that had crept into his lungs were now forcing every compensatory mechanism into extremis. He wanted to fight and live, but there was little left for the ICU to offer.
