Many centuries have fled

Author: Conder Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #492 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Many centuries have fled Since our Saviour broke the bread, And this sacred feast ordained, Ever by his church retained: Those his body who discern, Thus shall meet till his return. 2 Through the church's long eclipse, When, from priest or pastor's lips, Truth divine was never heard-- 'Mid the famine of the word, Still these symbols witness gave To his love who died to save. 3 All who bear the Saviour's name, Here their common faith proclaim; Though diverse in tongue and rite, Here, one body we unite; Breaking thus one mystic bread, Members of one common bread. 4 Come, the blessed emblems share, Which the Saviour's death declare; Come, on truth immortal feed; For his flesh is meat indeed: Saviour! witness with the sign, That our ransomed souls are thine.
