lyrics
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.
For the body and the blood, for the more than angels’ food,
For the boundless grace of God, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
Only bread and only wine, yet to faith the solemn sign
Of the heavenly and Divine, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
For the words that turn our eyes to the Cross of Calvary,
Bidding us in faith draw nigh, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
For the words that fragrance breathe,
These poor symbols underneath;
Words that his own peace bequeath, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
Only bread and only wine, yet to faith the solemn sign
Of the heavenly and Divine, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
For the words that tell of home, pointing us beyond the tomb,
“Do ye this until I come,” 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.
Only bread and only wine, yet to faith the solemn sign
Of the heavenly and Divine, we give thee thanks, O Lord.
