Communion Companying

orchidee



Tune: Bunessan

('Morning has broken')

*********

New mercies each morn, they do on us dawn

Strengthen us where we tired, weary, worn

To Communion you do us invite

By your grace we children of the light

 

Here bread and wine be in your sacrament

Open to repentant, penitent

Hope of forgiveness, life, restoration

'Tween God and man (mankind), all of each nation

 

You our salvation, we cannot save self

You our righteousness, you our true wealth

Help us by faith receive of your gifts free

Here a remembrance continually

 

For you say, Take, eat of bread, and wine drink

These be the symbols, these be the link

To recall your death, Jesus, for you gave

Your life for us, for to our souls save

 

And too arisen, you e'er our high priest

Sharing here we may in this great feast

Partake humbly, then continue serving

You our Lord and King in everything

        Thanks B&A. If I bothered much about denominations, this is on the Protestant side. That's why we say 'symbols'.
