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.
