Representative Text

1 In memory of the Saviour's love,
We keep the sacred feast.
Where every humble, contrite heart
Is made a welcome guest.

2 By faith we take the bread of life
Withy which our souls are fed,
The cup in token of His blood
That was for sinners shed.

3 In faith and memory thus we sing
The wonders of His love,
And thus anticipate by faith
The heavenly feast above.

AMEN.
