Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #767 (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:22 Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise
Renewed in body, mind, and soul;
With Christ we die and live again,
His selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace,
To spread the word in speech and deed,
We follow in the steps of Christ,
At one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
It is the sacrament of care;
The work that Christ began to do
We humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then grant us courage, caring God,
To choose again the pilgrim way
And help us to accept with joy
The challenge of tomorrow's day. Topics: Christian Life; Discipleship; Holy Communion; Jesus Christ; Love for Others; Pilgrimage; Renewal; Social Concern; Witness; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
