Lord Jesus Christ We Humbly Pray – Hymn Lyric
Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
That we may feast on You today
Beneath these forms of bread and wine
Enrich us with Your grace divine
Give us, who share this wondrous food
Your body broken and Your blood
The grateful peace of sins forgiv’n
The certain joys of heirs of heav‘n
By faith Your Word has made us bold
To seize the gift of love retold
All that You are we here receive
And all we are to You we give
One bread, one cup, one body, we
Rejoicing in our unity
Proclaim Your love until You come
To bring Your scattered loved ones home
Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
O keep us steadfast till that day
When each will be Your welcomed guest
In heaven’s high and holy feast
