1. I shall in the Lord trust
Me, but mere dust
Yet He will take me up
Share communion cup
With me, and all redeemed
Though all was lost it seemed
He to our rescue came
Saved us through His name
2. Name of Jesus, Saviour
He does confer
On us, and He invites
To His delights
Of bread and wine here shared
We by His grace well-fared
Sustaining meal provides
None better besides
3. He bread of life e\'er is
Find content[ment], bliss
In this feast here set out
Sanctified, no doubt
And too water of life
Is He, and without strife
We may here quench our thirst
Removed [is] the curse
4. O may we here abide
With you reside
Come to us, Spirit true
Fill us anew
Empower every day
Us to know your will, way
To obey, love, serve you
Only God and true
5. What does heart meditate
At place so great?
Of your communion feast
To greatest and least
Your words they spirit be
And true life, this we see
Go forth from gathering here
Good news to share
6. And if praise grandiose
Or simple chose
Matters not, but that heart
From you not depart
And mind to be renewed
That has by faith you viewed
Partook of sacraments
Strengthened, departs hence
7. For \'tis in memory
Of your grace free
That we share at table
Each one you call
Yet not a feast of dead
For you, our living Head
Here with us and within
Cleansing us from sin
