424. Become to Us the Living Bread

1 Become to us the living bread
by which the Christian life is fed,
renewed, and greatly comforted:

Refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 Become the never-failing wine,
the spring of joy that shall incline
our hearts to bear the cov'nant sign: [Refrain]

3 May Christians all with one accord
unite around the sacred board,
to praise your holy name, O Lord: [Refrain]
