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 here 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 blest chain of loving rite Until He come

Alternate verses: Until the trump of God be heard Until the ancient graves be stirred And, with the great commanding word The Lord shall come
O blessed hope! with this elate Let not our hearts be desolate But, strong in faith, in patience wait Until He come
