Take, drink this cup, His blood

Take

drink this cup

His blood

Redemption of our God.

The peace which Christ has made

Is in this cup displayed.

We fellowship now with the Son:

On Calvary the work was done:

The way is clear

now all can come!

Take

drink this cup

each one

His death show till He come.

Eat

drink

display this feast:

God in the Lamb released!

Around the table

sup and dine;

We eat the bread and drink the wine.

All blessing in this cup we find.

No blood of cow or goat

Could give us any hope.

Our sins would all remain

Still year by year the same.

A God-man

sinless

He must find

No other offering of His kind

A spotless lamb for all mankind.

Come! Now enjoy His blood.

What access this to God!

Here wondrous cleansing power

Flows to us

hour by hour.

One sacrifice for all was made

And peace our conscience does pervade.

Redemption’s price is fully paid!

Redeemer! Savior! King!

Of Thy dear blood we sing

For in it now we see

Thy mercy

boundless

free.

This cup

our portion blessed of God

Is of the cov’nant in Thy blood—

Dear

precious

precious

priceless blood!
