A Communion Hymn.
1Here, in the broken bread,
Here, in the cup we take,
His body and his blood behold,
Who suffered for our sake.
2O Thou, who didst allow
Thy Son to suffer thus,
Father, what more couldst thou have done
Than thou hast done for us?
3We are persuaded now
That nothing can divide
Thy children from thy boundless love,
Displayed in him who died;--
4Who died to make us sure
Of mercy, truth and peace,
And from the power and pains of sin
To bring a full release.
