1125. By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored

1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
We keep the memory adored,
And show the death of our dear Lord,
Until he come.

2 His body broken in our stead
Is here, in this memorial bread;
And so our feeble love is fed,
Until he come.

3 His fearful drops of agony,
His life-blood shed for us we see;
The wine shall tell the mystery,
Until he come.

4 And thus that dark betrayal night,
With the last advent we unite
The shame, the glory, by this rite,
Until he come.

5 Until the trump of God be heard,
Until the ancient graves be stirred,
And with the great commanding word,
The Lord shall come.

6 O blessed hope! with this elate,
Let not our hearts be desolate.
But, strong in faith, in patience wait,
Until he come!
