The Night before our Savior died Lyrics

1. The night before our Savior died

He took a loaf of bread.

He blessed it, broke it, gave it to his friends behind Him, and He said,

Take this, and eat it, do.

My body now for you (2ice).

2. And taking then a cup of wine, He offered thanks again and gave it to His friends to drink in memory of His coming pain. “This is my blood”, He said, “for you it will be shed” (2ice).

3. And so today, his brothers meet, Remembering the night On which our Saviour gave himself to be our food, to be our light, to be our unity, the bread of charity (2ice).

4. Lord, send your spirit into us and make us one, we pray Make us your body and your blood, Your presence in the world today Take us, and share us do, Your body now for you (2ice).

5. Lord Jesus present in our meal be with us al the day, in all the people that we meet, in everything we do or say, And our life will be yours, and your life will be ours (2ice).
