| 1. We the Lord’s people,
heart and voice uniting,
praise him who called us
out of sin and darkness
into his own light,
that he might anoint us
a royal priesthood.
2. This is the Lord’s house,
home of all his people,
school for the faithful,
refuge for the sinner,
rest for the pilgrim,
haven for the weary;
all find a welcome.
3. This is the Lord’s day,
day of God’s own making,
day of creation,
day of resurrection,
day of the Spirit,
sign of heaven’s banquet,
day for rejoicing.
4. In the Lord’s service
bread and wine are offered,
that Christ may take them,
bless them, break and give them
to all his people,
his own life imparting,
food everlasting.
