CPWI Hymnal ‎#582

582. Draw us in the Spirit's tether

1 Draw us in the Spirit's tether,
for when humbly in your name,
two or three are met together,
you are in the midst of them;
alleluia, alleluia!
Touch we now your garment's hem.

2 As disciples used to gather
in the name of Christ to sup,
then with thanks to God the Father
break the bread and bless the cup,
alleluia, alleluia!
So now bind our friendship up.

3 All our meals and all our living
make as sacraments of you,
that by caring, helping, giving,
we may be disciples true.
Alleluia, alleluia!
we will serve with faith anew.
