Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ

1     Let us talents and tongues employ,
        reaching out with a shout of joy:
        bread is broken, the wine is poured,
        Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
 
Refrain
        Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
        pass the Word around: loaves abound!
        Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
        pass the Word around: loaves abound!
 
2     Christ is able to make us one,
        at the table he sets the tone,
        teaching people to live to bless,
        love in word and in deed express.  Refrain
 
3     Jesus calls us in, sends us out
        bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
        gives us love to tell, bread to share:
        God (Immanuel) ev'rywhere!  Refrain
