For a Zwinglian or a Calvinist, it's part of their devotion
If you say it's Lutheran, you'll always cause commotion,

When I was just a little lad, about the age of seven,
Me father said Christ wasn't here, that He was up in Heaven,
So when I took the Supper, and ate the bread and wine,
I didn't get the bod'ly Christ, but only the divine!

Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye,
Um Diddle Diddle Diddle, Um Diddle Aye.
On Sundays, when my faith was firm, I lifted up my face
And looked above to heav;n, which was Jesus' dwelling place,
Assurance and the strengthening of faith was up to me,
Effected by the bread and wine, as signs externally!

A Lutheran came into our town, proclaiming presence real.
He said that Jesus' blood and body both were in the meal.
Christ bids we eat and drink in order that the sacrament
Grant us holy absolution which is the meal's intent!

Now the Gospel all is new as I receive communion,
I eat Christ's body and His blood in sacramental union,
I see the light, I now am Lutheran, but here is now the twist:
Am I Gnesio-Lutheran or a Crypto-Calvinist?
