Author: James A. Blaisdell, b. 1867 Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #334 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the forms of outward rite
Thy supper, Lord, is spread
In every quiet upper room
Where fainting souls are fed.
2 The bread is always consecrate
Which men divide with men;
And every act of brotherhood
Repeats Thy feast again.
3 The blessed cup is only passed,
True memory of Thee,
When life anew pours out its wine
With rich sufficiency.
4 O Master, through these symbols shared,
Thine own dear self impart,
That in our daily life may flame
The passion of Thy heart.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 22:7-20 Tune Title: DUNDEE
