Jesus Invites His Saints

Jesus in­vites His saints

To meet around His board;

Here par­doned re­bels sit and hold

Communion with their Lord.

For food He gave 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.
