| | Leviticus 3; 7:11-38 |
| 1. | Lord, Thou art our peace offering; |
| | We lay our hands on Thee. |
| | We're one with Thee, Lord Jesus, |
| | In fact and practically. |
| | Here in the tent of meeting |
| | We offer Thee to God |
| | And with the Father feasting |
| | Enjoy Thee as our food. |
| | Christ is our peace! Christ is our peace! |
| | We praise Thee, blessed Lord! |
| | Our peace with God, our peace with man |
| | Have fully been restored. |
| 2. | O what a peace it gives us |
| | To see the sprinkled blood. |
| | The blood of our peace offering |
| | Has brought us peace with God. |
| | With boldness we're proclaiming- |
| | Now hear this, enemy- |
| | "Peace by the blood of Jesus!" |
| | This is our victory. |
| 3. | Based on the burnt oblation |
| | And the meal offering too, |
| | We now may offer Jesus |
| | As our peace offering true. |
| | The more we eat and drink Him |
| | In His humanity, |
| | The more we may enjoy Him |
| | While feasting corporately. |
| | What fellowship, what fellowship |
| | With God and man we share! |
| | O what a joy, O what feast |
| | With all God's people here. |
| 4. | Here God enjoys His portion- |
| | 'Tis inward, hidden, sweet- |
| | And all the priestly family |
| | May here the wave breast eat. |
| | The offering priest-how precious- |
| | May of the best partake: |
| | He gets the right heave shoulder |
| | And one unleavened cake. |
| 5. | How sweet to eat the wave breast, |
| | The all-embracing love |
| | Of Christ in resurrection! |
| | It sets us all above. |
| | What strength to eat the shoulder |
| | Of the ascended One |
| | And with the cake be nourished |
| | To walk as He has done. |
| 6. | With all the cleansed ones feasting, |
| | How rich the Christ we eat! |
| | Oh, this is true communion, |
| | The only way to meet. |
| | We bring our full thanksgiving |
| | And e'en would make a vow- |
| | We're for the Lord's recovery |
| | As He is for us now. |
