By Christ Redeemed, in Christ Restored

By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
We keep the memory adored,
And show the death of our dear Lord,
Until He come!

His body, given in our stead,
Is seen in this memorial bread;
And so our feeble love is fed,
Until He come!

His fearful unknown agony,
His life-blood shed for us we see;
The wine shall tell the mystery,
Until He come!

And thus that dark betrayal night,
With the last advent we unite
By one bright chain of loving rite,
Until He come!
