Jesus invites his saints
1
Jesus invites his saintsTo meet around his board,And sup in memory of the deathAnd sufferings of their Lord.
2
We take the bread and wineAs emblems of thy death;Lord, raise our souls above the sign,To feast on thee by faith.
3
Faith eats the bread of life,And drinks the living wine;It looks beyond this scene of strife,—Unites us to the Vine.
4
Soon shall the night be gone,Our Lord will come again;The marriage supper of the LambWill usher in his reign.
