Hymn For Today

O Holy Jesu, Prince of Peace

Thy peace with us gathering

round Thy Board

Where the sweet Presence of

an unseen Lord

Waits to be gracious, charged with full release

To every heavy laden soul

which here remembers Thee

Once more as in that upper

room

Thou Who didst love Thine Own

unto the end

Thou Whose dear Voice to every sorrowing friend

Spoke the great promise through

the deepening gloom

Thou biddst us, Masterf of the

Feast

Today remember Thee

And e'en in our hands we take

Thy broken Bread, the precious

Cup of Love

Thy dying Testament, which from above

Thou deignst ever new and fresh

to make

A Fount of grace and life to all

We do remember Thee

When stung by thoughts of sin

and shame

We scarce can dare to meet our

Father's look

Through these Thy signs we know

that not rebuke

But pardoning love is ours as in

Thy Name

We now present ourselves and here

O Christ remember Thee

Ours is the bond of love divine

Which knits us each to all, and all to each

That love whose ever-lengthening

chords can reach

From the white choir around Thy Heavenly shrine

To those who come in faith today

Here to remember Thee

Thy banquet over, as we go

Strong in the strength of this

celestial meat

To tread the path of life with

firmer feet

To work the works which Thou

hast bid us do

Abide with us O Lord that still

We may remember Thee
