People Partaking

Tune: Ravenshaw

('Lord, thy word abideth')

***********

Partaking Communion

Lord, you invite each one

Who in you does believe

Who gospel does receive

 

And all may come to know

The salvation you show

Give us courage that we

Witness to lost freely

 

That they come to your fold

Counted midst you sheep told

Your bread, wine we may share

Welcomed to your feast there

 

Shepherd, life gave for sheep

Will each one  tender keep

Guard from sin and danger

Graces on them confer

 

Remembering, we do

Share Eucharist* anew (*Thanksgiving')

Strengthened by your Spirit

Our steps be by you lit

      Thanks N. I been playing cricket - hit six every time! lol. Strangely, 666 is not 'short metre', but 6686 is! See that 8 creeping in there?! Not that I know much about composing music.
