Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: All Saints Day Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord, who calls us by his loving grace,
meets us at his table, gives to each a place;
everyone who trusts him here becomes his guest
at this meal most costly, holiest, and best.
2 Once he gave his body on a cross of wood;
now he lives to bless us with his precious food:
"Do this" he commanded, "to remember me":
let us taste his goodness, his salvation see.
3 By this loaf now broken, by this cup of wine,
Christ provides his people with his gracious sign;
joining in one body, all may take one bread,
sharing in one Spirit, governed by one Head.
4 All the host of heaven join our thankful song;
saints, apostles, prophets, all the martyr throng;
with the holy angels let his church proclaim
his atoning mercy, his unrivaled name.
5 Christ be all our glory till he comes again;
by his death we conquer, by his life we reign:
Christ who made us welcome, Christ who calls us friends,
shall receive our worship, praise that never ends.
