At that First Eucharist

Author: William H. Turton, 1859-1938 Meter: 10.10.10.10 with refrain Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: John 17 First Line: At that first Eucharist before you died Refrain First Line: Thus may we all one Bread, on Body be Lyrics: 1 At that first Eucharist before you died, O Lord, you prayed that all be one in you; At this our Eucharist again preside, And in our hearts your law of love renew. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 2 For all your church, O Lord, we intercede; O make our lack of charity to cease; Draw us the nearer each to each we plead, By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray for those who wander from the fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep. Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith does keep. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset T. C. Lowry, 1855-1932 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: John 17:20-21 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race, You our Head, who, throned in glory, For Your own will ever plead: Fill us with Your love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As You, Lord, have lived for others, So may we for others live. Freely have Your gifts been granted; Freely may Your servants give. Yours the gold and Yours the silver, Yours the wealth of land and sea; We but stewards of Your bounty Held in solemn trust will be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of Love and Prince of Peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease. By Your patient years of toiling, By Your silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race: By your praying, by Your willing, That Your people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition; Here on earth Your will be done.

O Love, How Deep, How Broad

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: John 17:9 First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high, how passing thought and fantasy: that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 For us baptized, for us he bore his holy fast and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew, for us the tempter overthrew. 3 For us he prayed, for us he taught, for us his daily works he wrought, by words and signs and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 4 For us to evil power betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death, for us gave up his dying breath. 5 For us he rose from death again; for us he went on high to reign; for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to comfort, and to cheer. 6 All glory to our Lord and God for love so deep, so high, so broad– the Trinity whom we adore forever and forevermore.

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 511 hymnals Scripture: John 17:6 Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now; a royal diadem adorns the mighty Victor’s brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords is his, is his by right, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, and heaven’s eternal Light; 3 The joy of all who dwell above, the joy of all below to whom he manifests his love, and grants his name to know: 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, with all its grace, is given; their name an everlasting name, their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, they reign with him above, their profit and their joy to know the mystery of his love. 6 The cross he bore is life and health, though shame and death to him, his people's hope, his people's wealth, their everlasting theme.
