Verse 1
For the bread which
you have broken,
for the wine which
you have poured,
for the words
which you have spoken,
now we give you
thanks, O Lord.
Verse 2
By this pledge
that you do love us,
by your gift of
peace restored,
by your call
to heaven above us,
hallow all our lives,
O Lord.
Verse 3
With our sainted
ones in glory
seated at the
heavenly board,
may the church
that’s waiting for you
keep love’s tie
unbroken, Lord.
Verse 4
In your service,
Lord, defend us,
in our hearts
keep watch and ward;
in the world where
you have sent us,
let your kingdom
come, O Lord.
