223. In the Quiet Consecration

1In the quiet consecration
Of this glad communion hour,
Here we rest in you, Lord Jesus,
Taste your love, and touch your pow'r.

2 Christ, our living bread from heaven,
Lord, whose blood is drink indeed:
Here by faith and with thanksgiving
In this feast on you we feed.

3 By your death for sin atoning,
By your resurrection life,
Hold us fast in blessed union;
Gird us, nerve us for the strife;

4 While afar in solemn radiance
Shines the feast that is to come
After conflict, toil, and testing —
Your great feast of love and home.
