Nourish us with sacred story Till we claim it as our own; Teach us through this holy banquet How to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness In the sacrament of life; Send us forth to love and serve you, Bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion To forgive as you forgave; May we still behold your image In the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon Other guests to share that feast Where triumphant Love will welcome Those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us Nor will pride our peace destroy, As we join with saints and angels To repeat the sounding joy. Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Is there here a weeping Mary pouring forth a flood of tears? Tell them all about the Savior, how in Christ the lost are found. Pray, oh pray, and holy manna will be scattered all around. 3 Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other, too; let us pray for all earth's people till our God makes all things new.
