An extra 'Hymn for today . . .'

Light of Life CM

Tune: Richmond
Lord Jesus now, O light of life,
Fill me with joy anew;
For I would feign remember Thee,
And praise and thank Thee too.

Gathered around Thy table here,
To take the bread and wine;
Recalling that great sacrifice,
That brought the gift divine.

We eat the bread and drink the wine,
Repentant in our heart,
We rest within your perfect peace,
A new beginning start.

And when at last we turn aside,
Redeemed, restored, refreshed,
May we remember, evermore,
This sacred moment blessed.
