Tune: Leibster Jesu
('Dearest Jesu, we are here')
**********
Lord, in whate'er season we
Physically or spiritually
[We] Partake of your bread and wine
They be elements rich and fine
Of your body given for me
And your blood outpoured too I see
Saved by your grace, not our own
Doing, you atone, you alone
Putting faith in Christ your Son
Son of God, saving work has done
Living, died on cross ,rose again
Saviour to all, unto all men (mankind)
I shall trust and here partake
Of this feast you for us here make
Not cast off nor turned away
You do invite all, you the Way
And the Truth and Life you 'er be
Now and through all eternity
Wondrous hope, help us to share
Evangelise your gospel fair
So that all salvation know
And more in your image, Christ, grow
Your love shown here, help us love you
More, strengthen us for service too

Good write but no longer applicable to me. I still go to church to sing in the choir and meet with friends but I do get the odd look when I no longer go up for communion.
Thanks Gold. You could go up for a 'blessing' yes? Not actually receive the bread and wine. You're in the church 'atmosphere' for want of a better word. I miss it if they only have it about once a month. Some places have it EVERY week, with it as the main focus of the Service.
At one place EVERYONE (or as many as wished) gathered round the table/altar, all at once. But it was bit like a cattle market, though respectful.
GOOD MORNING ~ Uncle STEVE ~ BRIAN here off to work soon Lecture 11 am Path Lab Science. Thanks UNCLE STEVE for your Morning Blessing always appreciated. Love the HYMN and COMMUNION POEM. Forsake not the Assembling of Yourselves together !
