Common-Union Considerations

Tune: Dove of Peace

(\'I come with joy to meet my Lord\')

********

Fresh invites to Communion, you

Do still issue anew

O call us, draw us, to your side

Spirit in us reside

 

Forgive where we not always share

In this, your rich store\'s fare

There one reason or other be

Or distractions may see

 

For so to come to share bread, wine

It is an honour fine

O see our love for you, though small

At times, yet still you call

 

Call us to partake, memory

Of your blood, body be

Who did for all die, rose again

The Saviour of all men (mankind)

 

God our Father, and Christ His Son

We are brothers made one

And sisters in His family

The church of God it be

 

Strengthened with this food spiritual

It is enough for all

Speaks my acceptance, forgiveness

Jesus shall each one bless

 

So out into the world we go

Help us share, so men know

Of salvation, and be brought in

Your fold, and cleansed from sin

 

Our only hope, our only way

Dawns our redemption\'s day

\'Tis Christ we trust, so have we peace

Hope, faith, love, without cease (ceasing)
