Celebrating Communion

Tune: St Timothy

(\'O Holy Ghost, they people bless\')

*********

Lord, as often as we do meet

And gather round your feet

To share in the Communion feast

For all, greatest to least

 

As often as we meet, you say

Come near, even today

Eat and drink in remembrance

Of me, then go forth hence

 

Strengthened with your life-giving bread

You are our living Head

Refreshed, cleansed, by the sparkling wine

Symbol of blood divine

 

These gifts as symbols, emblems, be

They placed here centrally

Sanctified, set apart, they do

Represent you anew

 

Your words you did speak, spiritual

Saying, Come one and all

To eat of me, to drink of me

So your salvation be
