Forgiven, loved, and free,
The life of Jesus to recall,
In love laid down for me,
In love laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near
To find, as we are fed,
The new community of love
In Christ's communion bread,
In Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share,
Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends,
And strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ,
Unseen, but ever near,
Is in such friendship better known,
Alive among us here,
Alive among us here.
5 Together met, together bound
By all that God has done,
We'll go with joy, to give the world
The love that makes us one,
The love that makes us one.

1 Con gozo vengo, *hijo soy
de Dios, que me salvó,
y a Christo quiero agradecer
lo mucho que me amó,
lo mucho que me amó.
2 De cerca y lejos vienen
hoy cristianos a encontrar
familia nueva y amor,
al compartir el pan,
al compartir el pan.
3 Y cuando Cristo parte el pan
no existe enemistad,
pues el Amor que nos creó
nos une en hermandad,
nos une en hermandad.
4 Oculto y siempre cerca está
tu Espíritu, Señor,
reconocido en la amistad
y vivo en nuestro ardor,
y vivo en nuestro ardor.
5 Nos encontró y nos unió
la obra del Señor.
Al mundo vamos a extender
el gozo de su amor,
el gozo de su amor.
