Communion Capturings

Tune: Margaret

(\'O love that wilt not let me go\')

********

Here tokens sure be of your passion

You, Jesus, God the Father\'s own Son

Bread, wine, simply displayed, inviting

Us to come to you, our lives bring

To you hymns, praises sing

 

A time alighting, preparation

Your redemption for each nation

You the Priest and Victim, this feast

Open to greatest as to least

From north, west, south, and east

 

So hearts, minds, lives, gracious anointing

You who know us through, everything

Yet bid us sinners be forgiven

From your hands, feet, and side riven

Your life for us given

 

And meekly kneeling at altar rail

These gifts shall help, strengthen, not fail

We take, eat, drink, we by you fed

You Lord risen e\'er from the dead

Now you our living Head

 

Here hymns, songs in contemplation

Bright joys of your love, and elation

Blessed comforts here, eternal life sure

Who eats and drinks of you e\'ermore

Lives in you safe, secure

 

So taking your life to share out

To help, encourage others from doubt

To inspire faith in them, that they

With us may too all watch and pray

\'Til dawns e\'erlasting day

 

Take us, take me, your Spirit fill

With your power, to help those still

Who none, or part, your gospel know

That so here on your earth below

Your kingdom, [and] will, [may] full grow
