Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #275 (2003) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Scripture: John 14:27 Lyrics: 1 An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there
to celebrate their risen friend.
2 A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup.
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his cross shall lift us up.
3 And after supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In Christ our joy shall be made complete:
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
4 No end there is! We depart in peace,
he loves beyond the uttermost:
in every room in our Father's house
Christ will be there, as Lord and Host. Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
