'Twas on that dark, that doleful night

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 376 hymnals Lyrics: 1 ’Twas on that dark, that doleful night, 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 said, "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.

The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

Author: Haquin Spegel, 1645-1714; Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, We celebrate with one accord; It is our comfort in distress, Our heart's sweet joy and happiness. 2 He blotted out with His own blood The judgment that against us stood; He full atonement for us made, And all our debt He fully paid. 3 That this is so and ever true He gives an earnest ever new, In this His holy Supper, here We taste His love so sweet, so near. 4 For His true body, as He said, And His true blood, for sinners shed, In this communion we receive, His sacred Word we do believe. 5 A precious food is this indeed, It never faileth, such we need, A heavenly manna for our soul, That we may safely reach our goal. 6 Then blessed is each worthy guest Who in this promise finds His rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide: 7 The guest that comes with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, Will thus a holy life begin. 8 Who does unworthy here appear, does not believe, nor is sincere, Salvation here he can not find. May we this warning keep in mind. 9 O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, Unto Thy cross we now draw near; Thy sacred wounds indeed make whole A wounded and afflicted soul. 10 Help us sincerely to believe That we Thy mercy do receive, And in Thy grace do find our rest. Amen. He who believes is blest. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: MEIN SEEL, O HERR, MUSS LOBEN DICH

Fully through thee absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 Lord, I believe thy precious Blood, Which at the mercy-seat of God Forever doth for sinners plead, For me, e'en for my soul, was shed. 4 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, E'en then shall be all my plea, 'Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.'

Jesus! Thou Joy of loving hearts!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 576 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts! Thou Fount of life! Thou Light of men! From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good, To them that find Thee, all in all. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread! And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus! ever with us stay; Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away; Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Lord Jesus Christ! To Thee we pray

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ! To Thee we pray, From us God's wrath Thou turn'st away, Thine agony and bitter death Redeem us from eternal wrath. 2 That we may never this forget, Thy body for our food is set; And with the wine Thou giv'st Thy blood To cleanse our souls, a sacred flood. 3 Let none, impenitent and bold, This sacred feast profanely hold: He who unworthy sitteth there Shall sink to death and dark despair. 4 But praise the Father, by whose love The Son descended from above, Became the bread of life to thee, And bore thy sins upon the tree. 5 Our Saviour saith: Come unto me, Ye who now feel your poverty: My mercy I will freely give, Your burdened conscience I'll relieve. 6 Could'st thou unaided this obtain, Then had I shed my blood in vain; This feast were vainly spread for thee, If thou require no food from me. 7 If in thy heart this faith doth rest, Which thou hast here in words confessed, A welcome guest thou here shalt be, And Christ Himself shall banquet thee. 8 But fruits must e'er thy faith approve; Thy neighbor thou must truly love; That love let him from thee receive, Which here to thee thy God doth give.
