D.24 Come and Eat of My Bread

Chorus:
Come and eat of my bread,
and drink of my wine:
Come to the feast I prepared for you.

They have come from the eastern and western lands,
Gathered around your table
At the feast of the kingdom.

Bread of heav’n is the food that is offered here,
Bread soon to be your Body,
(Bread now become your Body)
Which is cause for eternal life.

Living Bread that the Father has giv’n to us,
Food for our Paschal feasting,
Sign of promise renewed once more.

Cup of wine poured to cheer
Every toubled heart,
Free us from every sadness,
Blood of Christ, our redeeming wine.

By your love, we are drawn into unity,
Singing our joyous praises,
While rememb’ring your tender care.
