Lord Jesus Christ, We Humbly Pray

Henry Eyster Jacobs • English

Primary Scripture: Romans 5:1-2

Verse 1

Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray That we may feast on You today; Beneath these forms of bread and wine Enrich us with Your grace divine.

Verse 2

Give us, who share this wondrous food, Your body broken and Your blood, The grateful peace of sins forgiv'n, The certain joys of heirs of heav'n.

Verse 3

By faith Your Word has made us bold To seize the gift of love retold; All that You are we here receive, And all we are to You we give.

Verse 4

One bread, one cup, one body, we, Rejoicing in our unity, Proclaim Your love until You come To bring Your scattered loved ones home.

Verse 5

Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray: O keep us steadfast till that day When each will be Your welcomed guest In heaven's high and holy feast.
