Christ bids us break the bread
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Christ bids us break the bread
and share the cup he gave,
in token of the blood he shed
for those he died to save.
2 It was for us he came,
to bear, by human birth,
a crown of thorn, a cross of shame,
for every child of earth.
3 The Saviour crucified
in glory rose again:
we here remember him who died,
ascended now to reign.
4 Our hearts his word obey,
in thankfulness and love:
we feed on Christ by faith today
and feast with him above.
5 O Christ, once lifted up
that we might be forgiven,
we take the bread and drink the cup
and share the life of heaven. Topics: Atonement; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Easter; Church Year Ascension; Heaven; Holy Communion; Jesus Life and Ministry; Obedience Used With Tune: EASTVILLE
Christ bids us break the bread
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,301 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine:
now hear me when I pray;

strength to my fainting heart;
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,
oh may my love to thee
pure, warm and changeless be,
a living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Saviour, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
oh bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul. Topics: Death; Eternal Life; Fire / Flame; Gratitude; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; One Life in Christ Faith; Repentance Used With Tune: OLIVET
