402. By Christ Redeemed

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 broken body in our stead is here,
In his memorial bread;
And so our feeble love is fed,
Until He come.

3 His fearful drops of agony,
His lifeblood 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.
