While Days Dawn

Tune: St Timothy

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

*******

While days of grace are here, come see

And do remember me

Said our Lord, when [He] instituted

Supper with wine and bread

 

Amidst the food and drink arrayed

These simple gifts displayed

Of bread and wine for Communion

Invite to every one

 

For they be symbols of Christ sure

His body, blood, e\'ermore

Given that forgiven we may

Be, turn to Him today

 

This spiritual meal will sustain

Us here throughout life plain

Help us Lord to look unto you

Hunger and thirst anew

 

All on same ground, sinners do meet

And worship at Christ\'s feet

He will us hear, forgive, restore

His mercy we implore

 

So grace He will grant us today

To go on in His way

His people, we His friends e\'en be

Redeemed by His love free
