Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
'Twas on that night when doomed to know The eager rage of ev'ry foe, The night in which He was betrayed, The Savior of this world took bread.
Verse 2
And after thanks and glory giv'n To Him that rules in earth and heav'n, That symbol of His flesh He broke, And thus to all His foll'wers spoke.
Verse 3
"My broken body thus I give For you, for all; take, eat and live; And oft the sacred feast renew, That brings my wondrous love to view."
Verse 4
Then in His hands the cup He raised, And God anew He thanked and praised, While kindness in His bosom glowed, And from His lips salvation flowed.
Verse 5
"My blood I thus pour forth," He cries, "To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; Partake: and when the cup ye pour, Remember still my dying hour."
