1. For the bread and for the wine,
  For the pledge that seals Him mine,
  For the words of love divine,
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
2. Only bread and only wine,
  Yet to faith, the solemn sign
  Of the heav'nly and divine!
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
3. For the words that turn our eye
  To the cross of Calvary,
  Bidding us in faith draw nigh,
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
4. For the words that fragrance breathe
  These plain symbols underneath,
  Words that His own peace bequeath,
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
5. For Thy words in Spirit shown,
  For Thy will to us made known,
  ��Do ye this until I come,��
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
6. Till He come we take the bread,
  Type of Him on whom we feed,
  Him who liveth and was dead!
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
7. Till He come we take the cup;
  As we at His table sup,
  Eye and heart are lifted up!
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
  
8. For that coming, here foreshown,
  For that day to man unknown,
  For the glory and the throne,
  We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
