Words

Coming Saviour, now in faith,We remember still thy death;Thou wast broken—thou hast died;For us thou wast crucified.

While in faith we drink the wine,Of thy blood we see the sign;Wash us pure from every stain,Thou that comest soon to reign.

Lord, we thus remember thee,But we long thy face to see—Long to reach our heavenly home;Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
