Tune: Solothurn
(\'Now let us from this table rise\')
Acts 2 v.42-47
********
The early church, they continued
Together, were daily renewed
Sharing steadfastly day by day
Following Christ the Life, Truth, Way
Continuing in apostles\'
Teaching, hearing the Lord\'s sure calls
And in fellowship, friendship dear
The presence of the Spirit here
And in breaking of bread and prayers
Sharing joys, sorrows, loves, and cares
Godly fear came on every soul
The Lord did work and make them whole
Many wonders and signs were done
Through the apostles, e\'en each one
All that believed were together
Had all things common, all did share
They sold their goods and possessions
Distributed to needy ones
Continued daily, one accord
Aligning to the living word
They daily met in the temple
Broke bread from house to house, they all
Did eat their food with true gladness
in singleness of heart did bless
Praising God and having favour
With all the people who were there
And the Lord to the church added
Daily church as were being saved
