TAKE AND EAT

Gather at the altar, share the holy bread,

Join in celebration of the words He said:

Take and eat; this is my body.

Take and drink for this is my blood.

We are all invited to the sacred meal;

Food and drink he offers all our sins to heal.

By the bread I give you, life will be restored.

You will be my people, I will be your Lord.

By the cup I offer, know that you are mine,

Know that I am with you to the end of time.

We must now pass over from the land of sin,

Let the Holy Spirit write his law within.

When you share this supper,

When you drink this wine,

You proclaim my dying till the end of time.
