O Holy Jesu, Prince of Peace!

O ho­ly Je­su

Prince of Peace!

Thy peace be with us

Gathering round Thy board

Here

where the pre­sence of an un­seen Lord

Waits to be gra­cious

Charged with full re­lease

To ev­ery hea­vy la­den soul

Which here re­mem­bers Thee.

Once more

as in that up­per room

Thou who didst love

Thine own un­to the end

Thou whose dear voice

To ev­ery sor­row­ing friend

Spoke the great pro­mise

Through the deep­en­ing gloom

Thou bidd’st us

Mas­ter of the feast

Today re­mem­ber Thee!

And e’en as in our hands we take

This brok­en bread

This pre­cious cup of love

Thy dy­ing tes­ta­ment

which from ab­ove

Thou deign­est ev­er

New and fresh to make

A fount of grace and life to all;

We do re­mem­ber Thee!

Ours is the bond of love di­vine

Which knits us each

To all and all to each;

That love whose ev­er

Lengthening cords can reach

From the white choir

Around Thy heav­en­ly shrine

To those who come in faith to­day

Here to re­mem­ber Thee.

Thy ban­quet ov­er

as we go

Strong in the strength

Of this ce­les­ti­al meat

To tread the path of life with firm­er feet

To work the works which

Thou hast bid us do

Abide with us

O Lord

that still

We may re­mem­ber Thee!
