When powers 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 through 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 covenant, in my blood."
4 "Do this," he cried, 'till time shall end,
In memory 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.
