250. Lord Jesus Christ, We Humbly Pray

1 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
That we may feast on you today;
Beneath these forms of bread and wine
Enrich us with your grace divine.

2 Give us, who share this wondrous food,
Your body broken and your blood,
The grateful peace of sins forgiv'n,
The certain joys of heirs of heav'n.

3 By faith your Word has made us bold
To seize the gift of love retold;
All that you are we here receive,
And all we are to you we give.

4 One bread, one cup, one body, we,
Rejoicing in our unity,
Proclaim your love until you come
To bring your scattered loved ones home.

5 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray:
Oh, keep us steadfast till that day
When each may be your welcomed guest
In heaven's high and holy feast.
