#549 — For the bread which you have broken

1. For the bread which you have broken,
for the wine which you have poured,
for the words which you have spoken,
now we give you thanks, O Lord.

2. By this promise that you love us,
by your gift of peace restored,
by the call to heaven above us,
hallow all our lives, O Lord.

3. With the holy ones before you,
feasting on your grace outpoured,
may the church now waiting for you
keep love's tie unbroken, Lord.

4. In your service, Lord, defend us;
in our hearts keep watch and ward;
in the world where now you send us,
may your kingdom come, O Lord.
