Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#265b

265b. Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray

1 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray,
Refresh thy people here today;
Beneath these forms of bread and wine,
Enrich us with thy grace divine.

2 Our trembling hearts cleave to thy word,
All thou hast said thou dost afford;
All that thou art we here receive,
And all we are to thee we give. A-men.

3 One bread, one cup, one body, we,
United by our life in thee,
Thy love proclaim till thou shalt come,
To bring thy scattered loved ones home.

4 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
To keep us steadfast to that day,
That each may be thy welcomed guest
When thou shalt spread thy heavenly feast.

Amen.
