Now to your table spread we come, each one in faith that you alone provide the words of life or death: in wine and bread, in promised food we find your loving heart, O God. Hands of the world stretch out your mystery to touch in longing to believe a truth beyond our reach, to sing in joy, to cry in grief, to know your meaning for our life. Here is our common wealth in sharing what is good, as though all humankind around one table stood, this bread to break, this wine to taste: one people in the name of Christ.
