Communion Compliance

Tune: Divine Mysteries

('Sweet Sacrament divine')

********

Since you Lord, do us call

May we come, one and all

To your Communion feast

You bid greatest and least

And there to find the bread of life

To calm our trouble, ease our strife

And too wine here outpoured

We remember you, Lord

 

At your instituting

Sacrament you di bring

To eat and drink of you

It true is life anew

Eating, drinking, spiritually

This for bodies, souls, spirits be

A partaking, sharing

In these gifts you us bring

 

Though righteous judgement shown

By grace your mercies known

Forgiveness for each one

Possible through the Son

You the one who your life laid down

Experienced for us God's frown

Our sins taken away

Upon your cross-death day

 

Here riches bright and fine

When we to you align

And meditate a while

Where none can harm, defile

Welcomed each time by your good grace

By faith we do behold your face

Your Eucharistic* love

Shed on us holy dove (the Holy Spirit)

------

* Eucharist - another name for Holy Communion;

meaning thanksgiving, gratitude, appreciation

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn poem in 6666 8866. Aiming to capture the experience and encounter in Holy Communion. Some of you said you really liked this clip, when shown before. Here it is again. Some 'moderns' may tend to leave out this service a bit, or it may feel 'tacked on', as if 'getting in the way' of things - sadly.

    The body of Christ keep you in eternal life.
    The blood of Christ shed for you.
    Amen.

      Thanks Gold. I admit I miss those words (due to their absence) sometimes, at some more 'modern' churches. We shouldn't 'whoop it up' all the time, though we need to be 'alive'. Maybe asleep in sermons though?!
