Author: Constance Coote Hymnal: Voices Together #484 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the quiet consecration
of this glad communion hour,
here we rest in you, O Jesus,
taste your love and touch your pow’r.
2 Here we learn through sacred symbol
all your grace can be and do
by this wonderful indwelling—
you in us, and we in you.
3 Christ, the living bread of heaven,
Christ, whose blood is drink indeed,
here by faith and with thanks giving
in our hearts on you we feed.
4 By your death for sin atoning,
by your resurrection life,
hold us fast in joyful union,
strengthen us to face the strife;
5 While afar in solemn radiance
shines the feast that is to come —
after conflict, heaven’s glory,
your great feast of love and home. Topics: Blood of Christ; Holy Thursday; Journey to the Cross; Silence Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Tune Title: STENKA RAZIN
