On that night of nights most solemn

On that night of nights most solemn

Jesus called His own

’Round the table of remembrance

All alone.

Then this feast of feasts He ordered

Feast of grace Divine;

Sacred symbols He appointed

Bread and wine.

Thus His death of deaths is shadowed

In this simple way

Looking backward

pointing upward

To that day.

Till the morn of morns bright dawning

Earth’s dark shadows passed;

And the splendor of God’s glory

Breaks at last.

Thus the day of days shall open

Deathless

cloudless

fair;

In that day

the Savior’s glories

We shall share!
