In the quiet consecration of this glad communion hour, here we rest in you, Lord Jesus, taste your love and touch your power. Here we learn through sacred symbol all your grace can be and do, but this wonderful indwelling - you in us, and we in you. Christ the living bread from heaven, Christ whose blood is drink indeed, here by faith and with thanksgiving in our hearts on you we feed. By your death for sin atoning, by your resurrection-life, hold us fast in joyful union, strengthen us to face the strife. While afar in solemn radiance shines the feast that is to come - after conflict, heaven's glory, your great fest of love and home.
