Tune: Leibster Jesu
('Dearest Jesu, we are here')
********
Ready to partake bread, wine
Gifts to us in your feast divine
Whether we in person meet
Or around home tables do seat
Come to us, bless now these symbols
Help us hear your salvation calls
They symbols of your body
And of your blood shed for us free
Money cannot buy such, though
Yet you tell us so we may know
That it will cost all if truly
We faithful disciples will be
Here we recall of your death
On the cross, drawing final breath
Then rising to life again
Saviour of races of all men
Whate'er be our human station
You redeem from every nation
Inspire, strengthen us, so we
Go out in the world and thus be
Empowered by your Spirit
That our lives be as your lamps lit
Sharing Christ-likeness in our each day
That folk know you, the Life, Truth, Way

Really Nice
Thanks Dr S.
I think the tail end of your authors note, if indeed true, is one of the best quotes I have heard in a long time ..🐧🐭
Thanks N.
A true sacrament. This could almost be a blessing for food as well. It rolls off the tongue and has a true feeling of gratitude. Very nicely done.
Thanks SB.
Communion of bread and of community dear friend, beautifully expressed.
