Lyics

Jesus invites his saints

To meet around his board:

Here pardoned rebels sit, and hold

Communion with their Lord.



This holy bread and wine

Maintain our fainting breath,

By union with our living Lord,

And interest in his death.



Let all our powers be joined

His glorious name to raise;

Let holy love fill ever mind,

And every voice be praise.
