Tune: Divine Mysteries
('Sweet sacrament divine')
**********
Come to Communion feast
Come, greatest unto least
For bread and wine here shared
I access unimpaired
For Christ has bid each one unto
His table, to taste fresh, anew
These token of His love
Teach us, O Spirit, dove
Teach us, that here we see
Displayed this mystery
Christ's body in the bread
Symbol, crucified, dead
Yet on the third day rose again
Salvation free unto all men
And wine, Christ's body shed
Symbol, for us He bled
Rich food, spiritual
Enough to suffice all
Sacrifice, offering
His own self did He bring
To pay the price for all our sin
To forgive and to cleanse within
Granting life eternal
To all who on Him call
This be our sustenance
No repeat, only once
He hung upon the cross
Came to redeem our loss
So in fair common-union
In fellowship with Christ the Son
Peace now with God and man
Lifted the curse and ban
You meet our deepest needs
Your loving presence leads
Us unto pastures green
Verdant, not barren, mean
O help us in our weakness, see
We all dependent on you be
You our guide e'er you be
Throughout eternity

Great write
Thanks Tony.
Welcome
Communion, the center piece of the service! Beautiful poem, orchidee. And that voice is incredible!
You mean my voice Fred?! heehee
If you look like the lady in red, ok, your voice! Otherwise, don't pat yourself on the back yet! 🙂
It's me in drag! lol.
Good one! I have never seen your face, but picture you as a kindly older man with beard and moustache, maybe not too much hair on top anymore. Now, combining this image with the image of a drag queen.... I don\'t know!!! But here I am climbing up a palm tree, so anything is possible! 🙂
Well, I got no beard or moustache. What you doing up that tree?! heehee.
Super write Orchi.
Thanks all.
