614: For the Bread Which You Have Broken


1 For the bread which you have broken,
for the wine which you have poured,
for the words which you have spoken,
now we give you thanks, O Lord.

2 By this pledge that you do love us,
by your gift of peace restored,
by your call to heaven above us,
hallow all our lives, O Lord.

3 With our sainted ones in glory,
seated at the heavenly board,
may the church that's waiting for you
keep love’s tie unbroken, Lord.

4 In your service, Lord, defend us,
in our hearts keep watch and ward;
in the world where you have sent us,
let your kingdom come, O Lord.
