Thy Broken Body Gracious Lord

Lyrics by

Music by

Scripture
1 Corinthians 11:24-26
Verse 1
Thy broken body, gracious Lord,
Is shadowed by this broken bread;
The wine which in this cup is poured,
Points to the blood which Thou hast shed.
Verse 2
And while we meet together thus,
We show that we are one in Thee;
Thy precious blood was shed for us,
Thy death, O Lord, hast set us free!
Verse 3
We have one hope that Thou wilt come,
Thee in the air we wait to see;
When Thou wilt give Thy saints a home,
And we shall ever reign with Thee.

Montgomery's meditation on Christ's sacrificial body in the context of the Communion service.
