Sheet music
- 1Lord of our highest love!Let now Thy peace be giv’n;Fix all our tho’ts on things above,Our hearts on Thee in heav’n.Then, dearest Lord, draw nearWhilst we Thy table spread,And crown the feast with heav’nly cheer,Thyself the living bread.
- 2Then as the loaf we break,Thine own rich blessing give;May all with loving hearts partake,And all new strength receive.Dear Lord! What mem’ries crowdAround the sacred cup!The upper room! Gethsemane!Thy foes! Thy lifting up!
- 3Oh, scenes of suff’ring love,Enough our souls to win-Enough to melt our hearts and proveThe antidote of sin.
