Song Description

Communion piece

Lyrics

Be still-- and let your heart recall
--the subtle meanings of this all,
We pass the wafer, take the cup
--for Jesus calls us now to sup,
he calls us now with this decree:
'Do this, in rememb'rance of me,'

We break the bread and share the wine,
we come to Him, we come and dine,

Look in-- and let your mind reflect
--this sacrifice to God's elect,
his broken corpse, the blood that flowed,
--a willing gift His love bestowed,
Both host and victim of this meal:
'Do this, in rememb'rance of me,'

Like grafted branches to the Vine,
We cling to Him, we come and dine,

(BRIDGE)
Blood of the lambs, spread on the doors
--so, plagues of Death would pass o'er,
Lord Jesus, to us now impart
--blood of the Lamb, laid o'er our hearts,

Pause now-- and let your soul embrace
--this simple meal prepared in haste,
A cov'nant that will never cease,
--The promise of a wedding feast,
We heed His words explicity:
'Do this, in rememb'rance of me,'

From now untill the end of time
we'll keep to Him, we'll come and dine,
