Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 15:9 First Line: Once more, little children, we are come Lyrics: 1 Once more, like children, we are come,
To banquet with our God;
May each one feel himself at home,
And feast upon thy love.
2 While we receive the bread and wine,
As emblems of thy death,
Lord, raise each soul above the sign,
To feast on Christ by faith.
3 [We would not come as strangers, Lord,
Who only see the sign,
But, as the objects of Christ’s love,
Would feel we’re one in him.]
4 Like free-born sons, we would be free
From every legal chain;
Praise him who brought our liberty,
And ever with him reign. Topics: The Lord's Supper
