Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. The bread is being broken; the water has been poured; And we partake in mem’ry of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We do this that his spirit may always with us be, That we may do his will and serve him faithfully.
2. The sacrament reminds us how Jesus loved us so; And how he died to save us, so many years ago. I’ll take the bread and water to show that I am true, And I shall always think of him and love him too
