24. Lord, come in! Lord, come in!

1. Lord, come in! Lord, come in!
Thou who art Thy people’s Head,
Let Thy peace o’er us be spoken,
Thy Good Spirit on us shed
While this holy bread is broken.
Come and sup with us, Thy members here,
Savior dear! Savior dear!

2. Bless it, Thou! Bless it Thou!
Bless and break the living bread
To give life unto our spirit.
By Thy suffering in our stead
Our salvation Thou dost merit,
That our souls, now free from vanity,
Godly be! Godly be!

3. Prince of life! Prince of Life!
Thou the Fountain of all good,
Come, our spirits’ hunger stilling.
May the sacrificial blood,
Thou didst shed so free and willing,
Strengthen us, and give us grace to be
True to Thee! True to Thee!

4. As Thou wilt! As Thou wilt!
Come, O Lord, with blessings rife!
- Graciously He now draws near us
With the bread and wine of life.
O how doth His presence cheer us!
See what blessings follow in His wake;
Come and take! Come and take!
