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
