Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the bread, which Thou hast broken;
For the wine, which Thou hast poured;
For the words, which Thou hast spoken;
Now we give Thee thanks, O Lord.
2 By this pledge that Thou dost love us,
By Thy gift of peace restored,
By Thy call to heaven above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord.
3 With our sainted ones in glory
Seated at our Father's board,
May the Church that waiteth for Thee
Keep love's tie unbroken, Lord.
4 In Thy service, Lord, defend us,
In our hearts keep watch and ward,
In the world where Thou dost send us
Let Thy Kingdom come, O Lord.
Amen. Topics: The Church and the Sacraments The Lord's Supper; Bread of Life; Communion, The Holy; Lord's Supper, The Used With Tune: AGAPE
