Communion Call

orchidee



Tune: Leibster Jesu

('Dearest Jesu, we are here')

**********

Lord you call us, here partake

Of the rich feast that you do make

For you the bread of life be

And living water, e'en to me

Feed us, guide us, grace supplying

You giver of every good thing

 

We come to you, hearts prepare

In Communion we a share

Have, by you strengthened, sustained

By no merits of our own gained

But our trust is in you alone

For 'tis only you who atone

 

Hope of sins forgiven, we

Believe you did there on the tree

The cross, where your life you gave

Us sinners to redeem and save

This the gospel message ever

Steadfast, sure, unchanging never

 

Your people, your church you build

We offer ourselves to you, yield

Show us your way, your will true

Give grace and daily us renew

Onwards, constant, loving, serving

All our worship to you we bring
