Lyics

WHILE in sweet communion feeding

On this earthly bread and wine,

Saviour, may we see thee bleeding

On the cross to make us thine.



Though unseen, now be thou near us,

With the still small voice of love;

Whispering words of peace to cheer us-

Every doubt and fear remove.



Bring before us all the story.

Of thy life, and death of wo!

And with hopes of endless glory,

Wean our heats from all below.
