282. For the bread which thou hast broken

1 For the bread which thou hast broken;
For the wine which thou hast poured;
For the words which thou hast spoken;
Now we give thee thanks, O Lord.

2 By this pledge that thou dost love us,
By thy gift of peace restored,
By thy call to heaven above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord. A-men.

3 With our sainted ones in glory
Seated at our Father's board,
May the Church that waiteth for thee
Keep love's tie unbroken, Lord.

4 In thy service, Lord, defend us,
In our hearts keep watch and ward,
In the world where thou dost send us
Let thy Kingdom come, O Lord.

Amen.
