Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #602 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
when Jesus bids us dine,
his friends on earth united
to share the bread and wine;
the bread of life is broken,
the wine is freely poured
for us, in solemn token
of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
from Christ the grace we need,
and in our hearts believing
on him by faith we feed;
with wonder and thanksgiving
for love that knows no end,
we find in Jesus living
our ever-present friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
one single fruitful vine,
our fellowship declaring
renewed in bread and wine —
renewed, sustained and given
by token, sign and word,
the pledge and seal of heaven,
the love of Christ our Lord. Topics: God's Church Doxology, Glory to God; Pentecost 16 The Neighbour Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE
