In memory of the Savior's love

319 In memory of the Savior's love

1 In memory of the Savior's love,
   We keep the sacred feast;
   Where every humble, contrite heart
   Is made a welcome guest.

2 One fold, one faith, one hope, one Lord,
   One God alone we know;
   Brethren we are; let every heart
   With kind affections glow.

3 By faith we take the bread of life
   With which our souls are fed,
   The cup in token of His blood
   That was for sinners shed.

4 In faith and memory thus we sing
   the wonders of his love,
   and thus anticipate by faith
   the heavenly feast above.

Take a minute or two to read the author's bio, linked above. Seems he was a bit controversial—in a good way.
