BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

"Body and Blood of Christ" is a reverent, straightforward Communion hymn composed by Chukwujekwu Nweke. With its gentle, pleading refrain—"Sweet Jesus come my Saviour, come into me my Lord"—it captures the deep personal devotion of the congregation as they approach the altar to receive the Eucharist.

Written in four-part harmony, the piece is ideal for the Communion procession. The verses are short and meditative, focusing on Jesus as the "way, the truth and the life" and asking for His sanctifying grace. It allows the choir to maintain a prayerful atmosphere, guiding the faithful into a moment of quiet adoration and spiritual union with Christ.
