Jesus invites His saints
To meet around His board;
Here pardoned rebels sit and hold
Communion with their Lord.
For food He gives His flesh,
He bids us drink His blood;
Amazing favor! matchless grace
Of our descending God!
This holy bread and wine
Maintains our fainting breath,
By union with our living Lord,
And interest in His death.
Our heav�nly Father calls
Christ and His members one;
We the young children of His love,
And He the first-born Son.
We are but several parts
Of the same broken bread;
One body hath its several limbs,
But Jesus is the Head.
Let all our powers be joined
His glorious Name to raise;
Pleasure and love fill every mind,
And every voice be praise.
