LyicsJesus invites his saints
To meet around his board;
Here pardon'd rebels sit and hold
Communion with their Lord.
For food he gives his flesh,
He bids us drink his blood-
Amazing favor, matchless grace,
Of our ascended Lord.
This holy bread and wine
Maintains our fainting breath,
By union with our living Lord,
And in'trest in his death.
Our heav'nly Father calls
Christ and his members one;
We the young children of his love,
And he the first born son.
Let all our powers be join'd,
His glorious name to raise-
Pleasure and love fill ev'ry mind,
And ev'ry voice be praise.
