Let Us Partake

Beloved ones, 
Sing his praise as we gather now.
Let us rejoice, for we have been forgiven.

He dwells with us,

Though his ways are higher than ours.

Let us partake of the love he has given.

To everyone who calls upon his name,

He provides mercy and grace.

Come, praise the Savior in one accord.

We know that he is evermore the same.

He is here; let us embrace

The King of kings, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Beloved ones, 
Sing his praise as we gather now.
Let us rejoice, for we have been forgiven.

He dwells with us,

Though his ways are higher than ours.

Let us partake of the love he has given.

On the night when our Lord was betrayed,

He took break, and said, "This is my body,

Which is given for you.

Do this in remembrance of me.

In the same way he took the cup and said,

"This cup is the covenant in my blood,

Which is poured out for you 

Do this in remembrance of me."

[Instrumental interlude]

And when we eat this bread and drink this cup,

We are proclaiming his death,

With thanksgiving, until he comes.

He did not leave us comfortless; look up!

We were dead until his breath

Gave us life, and faith that overcomes.

Beloved ones, 

Sing his praise as we gather now.
Let us rejoice, for we have been forgiven.

He dwells with us,

Though his ways are higher than ours.

Let us partake of the love he has given.
