Until He Come

Verse 1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
we keep the memory adored,
and show the death of our dear Lord
until He come.

Verse 2 His body, broken in our stead,
is here in this memorial bread,
and so our feeble love is fed
until He come.

Verse 3 The drops of His dread agony,
His life-blood shed for us, we see;
the wine shall tell the mystery
until He come.

Verse 4 And thus that dark betrayal night
with the last advent we unite,
by one blest chain of loving rite,
until He come.

Verse 5 O blessed hope! With this elate,
let not our hearts be desolate,
but, strong in faith, in patience wait
until He come.
