Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #274 (2003) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice First Line: An upper room with evening lamps ashine Lyrics: 1 An upper room with evening lamps ashine,
the twelve disciples, and the table spread;
now in our turn Christ bids us pour the wine,
and in remembrance bless and break the bread.
2 We see by faith upon the cross displayed
his body broken and his blood outpoured;
in that dread robe of majesty arrayed
we gaze in worship on the dying Lord.
3 Dead for our sins, yet reigning now above,
still to our hearts we find his presence given;
take for ourselves the pledges of his love,
foretaste and token of that feast in heaven.
4 So send us out, to love and serve and praise,
filled with his Spirit, as the Master said:
love, joy and peace the wine of all our days,
Christ and his life our true and living bread. Scripture: Luke 22:7-13 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
