At the Rail Received – v2

We kneeled, at the rail received

the bread, the wine

the body, the blood,

sharing the communion meal,

Christ’s new covenant

with us, with all who believe

at God’s table, the Lord’s table,

sharing the elements

the parts, in remembrance

pausing for the invocation, the invitation

of the pastor, his blessing,

rising to return to our pews

silent, reverent, in appreciation

thanking the Savior

for His wondrous gift, His sacrifice,

a sharing around the world

to the ends of the earth
