399- Beneath the Forms of Outward Rite

Doctrines: Communion

1

  • Beneath the forms of outward rite
  • Thy supper, Lord, is spread
  • In every quiet upper room
  • Where fainting souls are fed.

2

  • The bread is always consecrate
  • Which men divide with men;
  • And every act of brotherhood
  • Repeats Thy feast again.

3

  • The blessed cup is only passed
  • True memory of Thee,
  • When life anew pours out its wine
  • With rich sufficiency.

4

  • O Master, through these symbols shared,
  • Thine own dear self impart,
  • That in our daily life may flame
  • The passion of Thy heart.
