How to feed mysql queries from bash

Question

I'm trying to make a bash script that creates a mysql user and database but I can't find a way to feed the sql into mysql, I'm trying with this format:

mysql < echo "query" 

But that is not working, see the example below:

mysql --host=localhost --user=user --password=password < echo "CREATE USER 'testuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  'jakdJxct8W'; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS 'testuser_dev' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  'testuser_dev' . * TO  'testuser'@'localhost'; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS 'testuser_qa' DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  'testuser_qa' . * TO  'testuser'@'localhost';" 

How to feed mysql with the queries?
