Lyrics
Let us raise our voiceTo proclaim our faith
Christ the Lord for us has died.
Dying, He destroyed our death,
Rising He restored our life.
O Lord Jesus, we await
Your last return in glory.
When we eat the bread
And we drink the cup
In the blessed Eucharist,
We meet You, our risen Saviour
Giving life to us anew
Through life’s journey, be with us,
To strengthen us forever.
Amen, Amen.
