Christians, Let Us Love One Another =================================== w: Sr. Claudia Foltz and Armand Nigro, 1973 m: French 17th cent. melody Tune: Picardy Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8. [Verse 1] Christians, let us love one another, As we share the true living bread. Jesus is our God and our brother; With his flesh and blood we are fed. [Refrain] Ev'ryone who loves is born of God. Jesus is our life. God is love. [Verse 2] We who break this bread are one body, We who share this cup are all one. Children of our Father in heaven, We are heirs with God's only Son. [Refrain] [Verse 3] We who eat and drink at this table Die and rise again with our Lord. Drawing from our Rock living water Giv'n to all who thirst for accord. [Refrain] [Verse 4] On the path of life we may falter, Earthly food alone leaves us weak; Always you invite from the altar, "Hungry souls their food here must seek." [Refrain] {Optional verses} [Verse 5] Wheat and grape incarnate a myst'ry: Jesus is the true living bread. Let us eat with joy and thanksgiving, Trusting in the word he has said. [Refrain] [Verse 6] Jesus is the vine, we the branches; We are grains of wheat, Christ the bread. Those who eat this bread live forever, One with Christ, our Lord and our Head. [Refrain]
