258. Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ

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 the table he sets the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express.

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) everywhere!
