Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #715 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise,
renewed in body, mind, and soul;
with Christ we die and rise again,
his selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace,
to spread the Word in speech and deed,
we follow in the steps of Christ,
at one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
it is the sacrament of care;
the work that Christ began to do
we humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then give us grace, Companion God,
to choose again the pilgrim way;
and help us to accept with joy
the challenge of tomorrow's day.
