1  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!

 2  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.

 3  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.

 4  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!

 5  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!
