1099. Thy broken body, gracious Lord

1 Thy broken body, gracious Lord,
Is shadowed by this broken bread;
The wine which in this cup is poured,
Points to the blood which thou hast shed.

2 And while we meet together thus,
We show that we are one in thee:
Thy precious blood was shed for us;
Thy death, O Lord, has set us free.

3 We have one hope that thou wilt come:
Thee in the air we wait to see;
Then thou wilt give thy saints a home,
And we shall ever reign with thee.
