Lord, You’ve raised love’s banner o’er us, We enjoy Your feast of love; As redemption’s work we ponder, How our heart is deeply moved. On the table are the symbols, Bread and cup, Your love displayed; Now as one we come to worship And as one receive Your grace. |

We recall how You descended, As a slave You bore distress; You were tested, often fasted, With no place Your head to rest. How You came, lost sinners seeking, Suffering scorn and hunger’s pain; Counting one repentant sinner Fully worth the blood You shed. |

We recall Your crucifixion, God-forsaken, man-condemned, You alone bought our redemption, Boundless love exhibited. Resurrected, You ascended, At God’s right hand intercede; As You’ve promised, You’ll accomplish: Lord, come soon, our joy complete! |
