    The Savior reaches us all. The music supports the changing flavor of each stanza of the poem. An accompaniment solo “trumpet” in stanzas 1 and 4 celebrates the sureness of our being saved. In stanzas 2, 3 the accompaniment echoes the solo melody canonically.

    Lyrics

    Communion Hymn

    Poem by Mary Baker Eddy
    Music by Adrienne Tindall

    Saw ye my Saviour? Heard ye the glad sound?
    Felt ye the power of the Word?
    ‘Twas the Truth that made us free,
    And was found by you and me
    In the life and the love of our Lord.

    Mourner, it calls you, — “Come to my bosom,
    Love wipes your tears all away,
    And will lift the shade of gloom,
    And for you make radiant room
    Midst the glories of one endless day.”

    Sinner, it calls you, — “Come to this fountain,
    Cleanse the foul senses within;
    ‘Tis the Spirit that makes pure,
    That exalts thee, and will cure
    All thy sorrow and sickness and sin.”

    Strongest deliverer, friend of the friendless,
    Life of all being divine:
    Thou the Christ, and not the creed;
    Thou the Truth in thought and deed;
    Thou the water, the bread, and the wine.
