Continuing Communion

Tune: Veni Emmanuel

(\'O come, O come, Emmanuel\')

**********

Though in person meeting we not

Yet still it be our happy lot

To join in Communion here

Until we meet each other dear

 

Chorus

Bread, wine, fare fine, share in spirit

Way to salvation you have lit

 

At church or home these gifts divine

You give us, we to you align

Give grace to continue, go on

Formed by degrees to Christ your Son - Chorus

 

This bread and wine at your Supper

You did gracious to us confer

To eat, to drink, your family

Your witnesses on earth we be - Chorus

 

Awaiting your return, may we

Ready, alert, diligent be

Not sleep at wrong time, but our part

Take in your service with good heart - Chorus

 

So sustain us, you bread of life

Through all our earthy trouble, strife

And water of life, full supply

Your Spirit in and with us nigh - Chorus
