Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 34 hymnals Refrain First Line: Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again Lyrics: 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. [Refrain]
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! [Refrain] Topics: The Church at Worship Holy Communion; liturgical Communion Songs; Calling and Response; Choruses and Refrains; Church Permanence; Joy; Mission and Outreach; Proper 13 Year A; Proper 12 Year B; Proper 9 Year C Used With Tune: LINSTEAD
