Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon Other guests to share that feast Where triumphant Love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14 Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray for those who wander from your fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith does keep. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, May we be one with all your Church above, One with your saints in one unbroken peace, One with your saints in one unbounded love.
