For the bread and for the wine

For the bread and for the wine

For the pledge that seals Him mine

For the words of love divine

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

Only bread and only wine

Yet to faith

the solemn sign

Of the heav’nly and divine!

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

For the words that turn our eye

To the cross of Calvary

Bidding us in faith draw nigh

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

For the words that fragrance breathe

These plain symbols underneath

Words that His own peace bequeath

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

For Thy words in Spirit

shown

For Thy will to us made known

“Do ye this until I come

”

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

Till He come we take the bread

Type of Him on whom we feed

Him who liveth and was dead!

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

Till He come we take the cup;

As we at His table sup

Eye and heart are lifted up!

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.

For that coming

here foreshown

For that day to man unknown

For the glory and the throne

We give Thee thanks

O Lord.
