1  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.

 2  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.

 3  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.

 4  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.
