Common-Union Considerations

Tune: Dove of Peace

('I come with joy to meet my Lord')

********

Fresh invites to Communion, you

Do still issue anew

O call us, draw us, to your side

Spirit in us reside

 

Forgive where we not always share

In this, your rich store's fare

There one reason or other be

Or distractions may see

 

For so to come to share bread, wine

It is an honour fine

O see our love for you, though small

At times, yet still you call

 

Call us to partake, memory

Of your blood, body be

Who did for all die, rose again

The Saviour of all men (mankind)

 

God our Father, and Christ His Son

We are brothers made one

And sisters in His family

The church of God it be

 

Strengthened with this food spiritual

It is enough for all

Speaks my acceptance, forgiveness

Jesus shall each one bless

 

So out into the world we go

Help us share, so men know

Of salvation, and be brought in

Your fold, and cleansed from sin

 

Our only hope, our only way

Dawns our redemption's day

'Tis Christ we trust, so have we peace

Hope, faith, love, without cease (ceasing)

    Amen.

    • orchidee

      Thanks Gold.

    • Nicholas Browning

      One jump here and another one there, but the flow is still smooth. Lovely work as always sir Orch.

      • orchidee

        Thanks N. You mean the jumps in the clip, or the poem 'jumps' a bit, or both?

        • Nicholas Browning

          The end of some lines have connections that make you tilt your head a bit, but then it call comes back into rhythm. It's actually quite cool.

        • orchidee

          I see what you mean N. I've amended this slightly now.
          But for example, I often, or always, use 'alway' in some poems. Cheating a little as it rhymes easily with 'day', 'way', etc! lol.

            I can count on you to give me inspiration. Thank you so much for your continued efforts to do so.

              Thanks laser.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks STEVE ~ Loved the HYMN ~ Simple and yet profound in its message ~ The same is true of the Poem. In any Christian Fellowship the Communion Service (or Lords Table) should be central and observed at least once a week ~ AMEN If I'm on Holiday wherever I am in the World I always try to meet with the Saints around the Lord's Table. I am always made very welcome and sometimes asked to share my Testimony ! It is always a time of great Blessing ! Thanks for reminding us ~ Yours BROTHER BRIAN.

                Thanks Brian. I don't want to knock 'modern' places, though they don't all have weekly Communion. I miss it then, having grown up with it. Not that I was always at church in younger days. Sometimes I went to Bingo with me Gran - serving mannon there! We should not get 'bored' of Communion, but if we're in a dull church it may seem like a grind.
