Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) ‎#411

411. In the quiet consecration

1 In the quiet consecration
of this glad communion hour,
here we rest in you, Lord Jesus,
taste your love and touch your power.

2 Here we learn through sacred symbol
all your grace can be and do,
by this wonderful indwelling —
you in us, and we in you.

3 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.

4 By your death for sin atoning,
by your resurrection-life,
hold us fast in joyful union,
strengthen us to face the strife.

5 While afar in solemn radiance
shines the feast that is to come —
after conflict, heaven's glory,
your great feast of love and home.
