Tune: Leibster Jesu
('Dearest Jesu, we are here')
Mark 14 v.22-31
*******
Jesus, Supper instituted
Simple gifts of wine and of bread
Took bread, blessed it, and did give
It to disciples, they ate, live
Bread of life, His body broken
For us here be the sure token
And He took the cup of wine
It would symbolise His blood fine
New testament blood it is
Which is shed for many, true this
Though Jesus no more would drink wine
'Til He drinks in kingdom divine
They did sing a hymn, and then
Went to Mount of Olives, was when
Jesus said, you all shall be
Offended this night, 'tis writ, see
'I will smite he shepherd, and sheep
Shall be scattered, not with Him keep'
But when He has rose again
They shall see in Galilee then
Him, the risen Lord, though they
There said from Him they would not stray
But He knew they would not do so
Though they said with Him they would go
Would go even unto death
Share with Him in gasping last breath
And He knew that Peter would
Deny Him thrice, and that it should
Be before cockerel crow twice
It be too great for them, the price

Thanks Fine.
You've done it again . Good work Orchi.
Thanks M.
Thanks again UNCLE STEVE for a lovely HYMN extolling the virtues of GODS presence : AMEN. In my experience the MASS (Communion Service) is when we come closest to the everlasting importance of Christs atoning death on the Cross. I have attended Mass in very grand Cathedrals in Spain and in a very simple way at Evangelical Christian Camps with Brian : BUT the experience is the same : its not the PLACE but the PERSON (The Lord Jesus Christ) that is important : AMEN !
Blessings & Love in the Spirit :
ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks B&A. That'll be 'Communion' to me, and I suspect to you too, not Mass! Sounds too High-Church for me. But I go to some places where it says 'Mass' and have to bear with it in name only!
I was raised as a CATHOLIC but now (when in the UK) I attend the Evangelical Church with Brian and my Parants (Devout Catholics) are happy that I am still a devout Christian and that Brian is active (Elder) in his Church. They are happy for me to be married in the Evangelical Church because I am a Member. They and my Family in the UK will attend the Wedding : OK. Some of my Friends in NZ are Catholics so sometimes I go with them to the Catholic Church in Auckland OK. Brian sees many of the extra-scriptural teachings of the Catholic Church as Untrue : Transubtantiation : Infalibility of the Pope : Prayers to the Virgin Mary & Saints etc. Brian happy to attend Catholic Services with me and for our marriage to be Blessed in the Cathedral in Seville where we will spend our Honeymoon. We had a choice and I chose to be a Member of Brians Church : OK
Blessings & Love in the SPIRIT : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
