This by His Love

On Pass­over our Lord pre­par­èd to

With His be­lov­èd twelve

His last sup­per share.

To com­fort

and to heal them by His love

He gave His Bo­dy and He gave His Blood.

He gave them free­dom and He gave them life.

This by His Love!

There in the up­per room

He told the twelve

That He must die

thus from hell to save

Our souls held fast by hell­ish sin­ful loves

So we all might find homes in Heav’n above.

He gave us free­dom and He gave us life.

This by His Love!

John on His ho­ly breast

did rest his head.

While Pe­ter cried

I’m Yours un­to death.

Their spir­its will­ing but

their flesh was weak.

But when Christ rose

He called them to the feast.

He gave them free­dom and He gave them life.

This by His Love!

We too may share with Christ

our un­seen Host

The Bread of Love

and the Wine su­preme.

Our wound­ed spir­its and our sin sick souls

Our Lord’s great heal­ing love will now make whole.

He gave us free­dom and He gave us life.

This by His Love!
