'Twas on That Night
Author: John Morison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 First Line: 'Twas on that night when doomed to know Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that night when doomed to know
The eager rage of every foe,
That night in which He was betrayed,
The Saviour of the world took bread;
2 And, after thanks and glory given
To Him that rules in earth and heaven,
That symbol of His flesh He broke,
And thus to all His followers spoke:
3 "My broken body thus I give
For you, for all. Take, eat, and live.
And oft the sacred rite renew
That brings my saving love to view."
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.
5 "My blood I thus pour forth," He cries,
"To cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
In this the covenant is sealed,
And heaven's eternal grace revealed.
6 "With love to man this cup is fraught;
Let all partake the sacred draught;
Through latest ages let it pour,
In memory of my dying hour."
Amen. Topics: Communion, Holy; Church, The Lord's Supper, The Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781
'Twas on That Night
'Twas on That Dark, That Doleful Night
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 367 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Lyrics: 1 ’Twas on that dark, that doleful night
When pow'rs of earth and hell arose
Against the Son of God’s delight
And friends betrayed Him to His foes.
2 Before the mournful scene began,
He took the bread and blessed and brake.
What love thro' all His actions ran!
What wondrous words of grace He spake!
3 "This is My body, broke for sin;
Receive and eat the living food;"
Then took the cup and blessed the wine;
"’Tis the new cov’nant in My blood."
4 "Do this," He said, "till time shall end,
In mem'ry of your dying Friend.
Meet at My table and record
The love of your departed Lord."
5 Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate;
We show Thy death, we sing Thy name,
Till Thou return and we shall eat
The marriage supper of the Lamb.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: ST. CROSS
