Lord, You’ve raised love’s banner o’er us,
Cheering feast of love withal.
Thy redemption’s grace so bounteous—
Reverent, grateful, we recall.
By the bread and cup, Thy love is
Manifest for all to see;
We receive Thy grace in oneness
And together worship Thee.

We recall how You descended,
Suffered hardships as a slave;
You were tempted, often fasted,
Toiled, no place Your head to lay.
But for sinners You kept searching,
Hungry, thirsty, mocked, reviled.
If but one repented, counting
Your shed blood was all worthwhile.

We recall Your crucifixion,
God-forsaken, man-condemned;
How alone You paid our ransom,
Boundless love exhibited;
How at God’s right in the heavens
Constantly You intercede;
How You promised reappearance;
Soon fulfill this word, we plead.
