Listen O Christ’s Congregation - Hymn Lyrics
- Listen O Christ’s congregation
With understanding and concentration
And sing with all jubilation
Christ has granted us salvation!
Give thanks unto Him for His grace
And praise Him for His great kindness
Exalt His name in every place
Christ has granted us salvation!
Through His compassion and love divine
He granted unto us sons of men
This mystery of the bread and wine
Christ has granted us salvation!
- The holy angels in heaven
Desire to behold and look upon
This mystery we have been given
Christ has granted us salvation!
The bread of which we partake
Is the body broken for our sake
It forgives every fault and mistake
Christ has granted us salvation!
The wine in the cup that has been blessed
Becomes the Blood of Jesus Christ
And remits all sins we have transgressed
Christ has granted us salvation!
- Our race was condemned by Adam’s fall
But Christ abolished the dividing wall
And granted salvation to every soul
Christ has granted us salvation!
Death came to the world by one man’s mistake
But the Lord shed His blood for our sake
This is the Blood of which we partake
Christ has granted us salvation!
The manna given in the wilderness
Was a figure of this mystery of goodness
We deserve it only if we confess
Christ has granted us salvation!
