226 For the bread and for the wine, 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. 2. Only bread and only wine, Yet to faith, the solemn sign Of the heav'nly and divine! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. 3. For the words that turn our eye To the cross of Calvary, Bidding us in faith draw nigh, We give Thee thank, O Lord. 4. For the words that fragrance breathe These plain symbols underneath, Words that His own peace bequeath, We give Thee thank, O Lord. 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. 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. 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. 8. For that coming, here foreshown, For that day to man unknown, For the glory and the throne, We give Thee thanks, O Lord.
