Wedding Communion Hymn

This is cobbled together from many components
(an experiment for lil bro's wedding).

Lyrics from "All Praise to Our Redeeming Lord" by Charles Welsley and "Gift of Finest Wheat" by Robert E. Kreutz.

Sung to RESIGNATION, more or less as arranged by Virgil Thomson.
The baritone line is absent here, because it's too low for me to sing myself :-)
You can here Thomson's SATB here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG7OI4T-zq0.

All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by His grace;
And bids us, each to each restored, together seek His face.
He bids us build each other up; and, gathered into one,
To our high callings glorious hope, we hand in hand go on.

The mystery of Your presence Lord, no mortal tongue can tell;
whom all the world cannot contain comes in our hearts to dwell.
You give yourself to us o Lord, then selfless let us be,
to serve each other in Your name in truth and charity.

We all partake the joy of one; the common peace we feel;
A peace to worldly minds unknown, a joy unspeakable.
And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet,
What height of rapture shall we know when round His throne we meet!
