For the bread and for the wine (Hymn 226)

Verse 1: For the bread and for the wine, For the pledge that seals Him mine, For the words of love divine, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 2: Only bread and only wine, Yet to faith, the solemn sign Of the heav'nly and divine! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 3: For the words that turn our eye To the cross of Calvary, Bidding us in faith draw nigh, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 4: For the words that fragrance breathe These plain symbols underneath, Words that His own peace bequeath, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 5: For Thy words in Spirit, shown, For Thy will to us made known, "Do ye this until I come," We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 6: Till He come we take the bread, Type of Him on whom we feed, Him who liveth and was dead! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 7: Till He come we take the cup; As we at His table sup, Eye and heart are lifted up! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Verse 8: For that coming, here foreshown, For that day to man unknown, For the glory and the throne, We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
