Hymn 60

1. By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
   him who was cursed we now adore,
   and mark the death of our dear Lord
   until He comes.
   
   
2. His body, offered in our stead,
   is shown in this memorial bread,
   and thus our contrite souls are fed
   until he comes.
   
   
3. His lifeblood shed for us we see
   poured out for us, undoubtedly,
   as wine we drink in memory
   until he comes.
   
   
4. Thus, by his suff’ring Christ achieved
   that we the Spirit have received,
   and unity, as brothers, gained
   until he comes.
   
   
5. When soon the final trumpet’s heard
   and all the ancient graves are stirred,
   then, with the great commanding word,
   the Lord shall come.
   
   
6. Then, once again, we’ll celebrate.
   Let not our hearts be desolate
   but, strong in faith, in patience wait
   until he comes.
