INTROIT: Draw Us in the Spirit’s Tether by Harold W. Friedell
Draw us in the Spirit’s tether; for when humbly, in thy name, two or more are met together, Thou art in the midst of them: Alleluia! Alleluia! Touch we now Thy garment’s hem. As the brethren used to gather in the name of Christ to sup, then with thanks to God the Father break the bread and bless the cup. Alleluia! Alleluia! So knit Thou our friendship up. All our meals and all our living make us sacraments of Thee that, by caring, helping, giving, we may true disciples be. Alleluia! Alleluia! We will serve Thee faithfully. [Percy Deamer]
