"Gift of Finest Wheat"
VERSE 4 The mystery of your presence, Lord, no mortal tongue can tell: Whom all the world cannot contain comes in our hearts to dwell. REFRAIN You satisfy the hungry heart with gift of finest wheat. Now give to us, O saving Lord, the bread of life to eat. TEXT: Omer Westendorf, 1976; MUSIC: Robert Kreutz, 1976 Several time each year we use this with choir and congregation at communion in the beautiful arrangement by John Ferguson (GIA G-3089). Communion reminds me of the yesterday/today/forever aspect of the gospel message. "As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup" --- today "you proclaim my death" --- yesterday "until I come again." --- future (hope) Have a great week, Chip Stam |
