Lyrics
Our joy, O Lord, is in You,Our joy, O Lord, is in You,
You gather us around your table,
You gather us around your table,
You make us one at heart, in peace and love.
Our light you are and our life,
Our light you are and our life,
You guide your people to the kingdom,
You guide your people to the kingdom,
You share with us, O Lord, in peace and love.
This day of yours, Lord, we hail,
This day of yours, Lord, we hail.
We long to hear your words of comfort,
We long to hear your words of comfort,
And evermore to live in peace and love.
This bread of life we shall eat,
This bread of life we shall eat.
We’ll share the cup that brings salvation,
We’ll share the cup that brings salvation.
United we shall be, in peace and love.
To God the Father give praise,
To God the Father give praise,
To God the Son and the Holy Spirit,
To God the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Give glory to our God in peace and love.
