Communion

Author: Mrs. Mary D. James Hymnal: Wondrous Love #114 (1885) First Line: They walked and talked with jesus Refrain First Line: Oh, to thus commune with thee! Lyrics: 1 They walked and talked with Jesus, And knew not it was he Who gave his life a ransom To set the captive free. His words of holy power, His look of matchless grace, Seemed more than those of mortal, And charmed their wondering gaze. Refrain: Oh, to thus commune with thee!— All the journey, living, dying— Oh, to walk and talk with thee! ‘Tis heaven begun below. 2 And then unveiled before them, The Savior stood revealed; The blessed risen Jesus No longer was concealed, Oh, wondrous revelation! The God and man combined! The great I AM—Almighty— In human form enshrined! [Refrain] 3 And with his dear disciples, He walks and talks today, “Lo! I am with you alway,” We hear him gently say. Oh, blissful hour when Jesus Unveils his glorious face, And shows his saving power, And his amazing grace. [Refrain] Tune Title: [They walked and talked with jesus]
