lyrics
‘Twas on that night, when doomed to know
The eager rage of ev’ry foe,
That night in which he was betrayed,
The Savior of the world took bread
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:
“My broken body thus I give
For you, for all; take, eat, and live;
And oft the sacred rite renew,
That brings my wondrous love to view, for you.”
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:
“My blood I thus pour forth, he cries,
To cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
In this the covenant is sealed,
And Heav’n’s eternal grace revealed.”
“With love to man this cup is fraught,
Let all partake the sacred draught;
Through latest ages let it pour,
In mem’ry of my dying hour.”
