Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: WAR2003 #698 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain First Line: Let us talents and tongues emply Refrain First Line: Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again Lyrics: 1 Let us talents and tongues employ,
reaching out with a shout of joy:
bread is broken, the wine is poured,
Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
Refrain:
Jesus lives again,
earth can breathe again,
pass the Word around:
loaves abound!
2 Christ is able to make us one,
at the table he set the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express. [Refrain]
3 Jesus calls us in, sends us out
bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
gives us love to tell, bread to share:
God (Immanuel) everywhere! [Refrain]
