As Oft As We Gather Together

Original Music: I Stand Amazed in the Presence, Charles H. Gabriel; 1856-1932.

We take this bread in remembrance of Christ who died willingly.
Who gave his life as a ransom, atonement to set men free.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is this bread broken for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is the Savior’s blood for me.

We drink this cup in remembrance; the wrath that he bore was mine.
He took my guilt and my judgment, released by his blood divine.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is this bread broken for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is the Savior’s blood for me.

We take this meal in remembrance, at peace with our fellow man
Receiving thy word with conviction, in Christ alone we stand.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is this bread broken for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is the Savior’s blood for me.

We worship the triune creator, whose wisdom confounds the wise.
This gospel we preach to the nations is life for the soul that dies.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is this bread broken for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is the Savior’s blood for me.

As oft as we gather together, remind of the Christ who gives.
His mercies are new every morning; his grace is ours to live.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is this bread broken for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is the Savior’s blood for me.
