Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #258 (1989) Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
When Jesus bids us dine,
His friends on earth united
To share the bread and wine;
The bread of life is broken,
The wine is freely poured
For us, in solemn token
Of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
From Christ the grace we need,
And in our hearts believing
On Him by faith we feed;
With wonder and thanksgiving
For love that knows no end,
We find in Jesus living
Our ever-present Friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
One single, fruitful vine,
Our fellowship declaring
Renewed in bread and wine--
Renewed, sustained and given
By token, sign and word,
The pledge and seal of heaven,
The love of Christ our Lord.
