At That First Eucharist

Meter: 10.10.10.10. with refrain

[Verse 1]
At that first Eucharist before you died,
O Lord, you prayed that all be one in you;
At this our Eucharist again preside,
And in our hearts your law of love renew.

[Refrain]
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be;
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

[Verse 2]
For all your church, O Lord, we intercede;
O make our lack of charity to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each we plead,
By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
We pray for those who wander from the fold;
O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that faith does keep.

[Refrain]
