Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
When Jesus bids us dine,
His friends on earth united
To share the bread and wine;
The bread of life is broken,
The wine is freely poured
For us, in solemn token
Of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
From Christ the grace we need,
And in our hearts believing
On Him by faith we feed;
With wonder and thanksgiving
For love that knows no end,
We find in Jesus living
Our ever-present Friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
One single fruitful vine,
Our fellowship declaring
Renewed in bread and wine:
Renewed, sustained, and given
By token, sign, and word,
The pledge and seal of heaven,
The love of Christ our Lord. Topics: Church; Lord's Supper Scripture: John 6:53 Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN
