200. For the Bread Which You Have Broken

1 For the bread which you have broken,
For the wine which you have poured,
For the words which you have spoken,
Now we give you thanks, O Lord.

2 By this promise that you love us,
By your gift of peace restored,
By your call to heav'n above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord.

3 With the saints who now adore you
Seated at our Father's board,
May the Church still waiting for you
Keep love’s tie unbroken, Lord.

4 In your service, Lord, defend us;
In our hearts keep watch and ward,
In the world to which you send us
Let your kingdom come, O Lord.
