قد مضى دهر لفاد

Representative Text

1 قد مضى دهر لفادٍ
خبزُه المحيي كسرْ
سَنّ هذا الخبزَ سراً
فاحفظوا هذا الأثرْ
مَن يمَيزْه يذقهُ
ذاكراً فادي البشرْ

2 طالما كانت ظلاماً
أرضنا طول المدى
حين لم يُسمع بحق
مِن لدى راعٍ هدى
كان هذا الرمز يُنبي
عن فِدى رب الفدى

3 حاملي اسم الرب أبدوا
صدقَ إيمانٍ يُعَدْ
اكسروا واتحدوا في
جسدٍ خبزاً أحدْ
كلكم أعضاءُ رأسٍ
واحدٍ فوق جسدْ

4 أقبلوا واشتركوا في
سرِّ رمزٍ يُمتلكْ
وكلوا حق طعامٍ
لم يمُت حيث سلكْ
يا محبُّ اشهد بهذا
أن ذي الأنفسَ لكْ
