Author: George Rawson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #520 (1888) Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 First Line: By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored Refrain First Line: Until he come. Lyrics: 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 Oh, blessed hope! with this elate,
Let not our hearts be desolate,
But, strong in faith, in patience wait,
Until he come!
