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 2,304 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.
Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; On the Cross

Saviour divine:

2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart;
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,

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

For those in peril on the sea.

The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep
And calm amid the rage didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And badst its angry tumult cease,
And gavest light and life and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
