Thy broken body, gracious Lord,
Is shadowed by this broken bread;
The wine which in this cup is poured,
Points to the blood which Thou hast shed.
And while we meet together thus,
We show that we are one in Thee;
The precious blood was shed for us,
Thy death, O Lord, has set us free.
Brethren in Thee, in union sweet,
For ever be Thy grace adored!
'Tis in Thy Name that now we meet,
And Thou art with us, gracious Lord.
We have one hope that Thou wilt come;
We long to see Thee in the air,
When Thou wilt take Thy people home,
And we shall ever reign with Thee.
