Hymn 127

The Last Supper

Just one more time before the door
Of death would intervene,
They gathered there to sup and share
Love's feast in joy serene.

For Christ aspired, strongly desired,
To meet in fellowship here
With those who talked with Him and walked
Along each dusty year.

He gave them bread and wine so red
And told them when they meet,
“Remember Me when this you see,”
Then knelt and washed their feet.

When next we meet in mem'ry sweet,
Let love and fellowship flow,
For this might be the last for me
Before I homeward go.

Just one more time before the door
