By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored
1
By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,We keep the memory adored,And show the death of our dear Lord,Until he come.
2
His body broken in our steadIs here, in this memorial bread;And so our feeble love is fed,Until he come.
3
His fearful drops of agony,His life-blood shed for us we see;The wine shall tell the mystery,Until he come.
4
And thus that dark betrayal night,With the last advent we unite—The shame, the glory, by this rite,Until he come.
5
Until the trump of God be heard,Until the ancient graves be stirred,And with the great commanding word,The Lord shall come.
6
O blessed hope! with this elate,Let not our hearts be desolate,But, strong in faith, in patience wait,Until he come!
