Through the bread and cup, Lord Jesus

Through the bread and cup

Lord Jesus

We Thy death exhibit here;

What Thy love has done reviewing

All Thy suff’ring we revere.

Bread and cup in separation

Show that Thou thru death hast gone;

Grateful now

our spirit worships

And to Thee we give our song.

Thine the cup of suff’ring

Mine the cup of blessing;

For Thy love in Thy redemption

Praise we ever sing!

Thou

in love

hast shed Thy blood

Lord

Bringing us to God in grace

That from God

no longer severed

We may ever see His face.

All God’s righteousness and glory

Have been fully satisfied;

Thru Thy death’s abundant merit

We may now with God abide.

By Thy death the veil was riven

Opened was the holiest place

All the barriers have been broken;

We approach the throne of grace

There receiving grace and mercy

Thus the timely need to meet

Drinking as of living water

Tasting God Himself replete.

Thou in grace hast so redeemed us

We the priests may be fore’er

To fulfill that holy office

All God’s sweetness thus to share.

Such a blessing

such a mercy

From Thy death for us ensue;

We would ever Thee remember

Till with Thee we drink anew.
