Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #770 (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Refrain First Line: Jesus lives again, earth can breath again Lyrics: 1 Let us talents and tongues employ,
Reaching out with a shout of joy:
Bread is broken, the wine is poured,
Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
Refrain:
Jesus lives again,
earth can breathe again,
pass the Word around:
loaves abound!
2 Christ is able to make us one,
At his table he sets the tone,
Teaching people to live to bless,
Love in word and in deed express. [Refrain]
3 Jesus calls us in, sends us out
Bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
Gives us love to tell, bread to share:
God (Immanuel) ev'rywhere! [Refrain] Topics: Christian Life; Close of Service; Easter Season; Evangelism; Holy Communion; Love for Others; Ministry; Mission; Service; Stewardship; Unity; Witness Languages: English Tune Title: LINSTEAD
