Those who longed to know the way,
Christ proclaimed a holy myst'ry.
Still His words call us today.
As He took the towel and basin,
Not as master, but as friend,
Christ portrayed the way of service.
Still in serving we must bend.
2 As He blessed the bread and broke it,
Human need to satisfy,
Christ made even traitors welcome.
Still we question, "Is it I?"
As He took the cup and shared it,
Telling of the Father's care,
Christ poured out Himself in promise.
Still that cov'nant we must share.
3 As they sang a hymn together,
Praising Israel's saving King,
Hearts and voices made one music.
Still deliv'ring love we sing.
Tho' this feast be one of symbols,
What we celebrate is real:
Still Christ welcomes to His table;
Still Christ serves us at His meal. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: Henry Gauntlett Adapter of "STUTTGART" in Baptist Hymnal 1991 Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extendÂed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).
