D.77 We Celebrate

We celebrate this festive day
With prayer and joyful song.
Our Father’s house is home to us,
We know that we belong.

Chorus:
The bread is broken, wine is poured.
A feast to lift us up!
Then thank the Lord who gives himself
As food and saving cup.

The door is open, enter in
And take your place by right.
For you’ve been chosen as his guest
To share his love and light.

We come together as the twelve
Came to the Upper Room.
Our host is Jesus Christ the Lord,
Now risen from the tomb.

Who travels needs both food and drink
To help him on his way.
Refreshed and strong we’ll journey on
And face another day.

Who shares this meal, receives the Lord
Who lives, though he was dead.
So death can hold no terrors now
For those who eat this bread.
