 |
| 1. |
Take
bread, take wine,
Look back to the cross where
Our Lord shed his blood to erase all our sin.
Proclaim his death
That opened a fountain
Of covenant blessings, a life-giving stream.
|
| 2. |
The
cross and tomb
Now hold him no longer;
Remembrance of Christ is of one who's alive.
No funeral this,
Rejoice and look up;
See him seated at Majesty's right hand on high.
|
| 3. |
Don't
feast alone,
The blood of the covenant
Has saved a vast number of whom you're but one.
Look round and see
Your brothers and sisters,
For they are Christ's body, your kin in the Son.
|
| 4. |
One
loaf, one cup
Declare we're united,
No strife in the body but love shown to all.
Look in, therefore,
Examine your own heart
Expecting God's grace, not his judgment, to fall.
|
| 5. |
Until
he comes
We meet at this table,
Affirming our union in Jesus, God's Son.
Once more, once less,
Partake and look forward,
By life and by lip crying, 'Lord Jesus, come!'
