Lord Jesus Christ, We Humbly Pray

Lord Je­sus Christ

we hum­bly pray

That we may feed on Thee to­day;

Beneath these forms of bread and wine

Enrich us with Thy grace di­vine.

The chast­ened peace of sin for­giv’n

The fil­ial joy of heirs of Heav’n

Grant as we share this won­drous food

Thy body brok­en and Thy blood.

Our trem­bling hearts cleave to Thy Word;

All Thou hast said Thou dost af­ford

All that Thou art we here re­ceive

And all we are to Thee we give.

One bread

one cup

one bo­dy

we

United by our life in Thee

Thy love pro­claim till Thou shalt come

To bring Thy scat­tered loved ones home.

Lord Je­sus Christ

we hum­bly pray

To keep us stead­fast to that day

That each may be Thy wel­comed guest

When Thou shalt spread Thy heav’n­ly feast.
