Lyics

JESUS invites his saints

To meet around his board;

Here pardon'd rebels sit, and hold

Communion with their Lord.



This holy bread and wine

Maintain our fainting breath,

By union with our living Lord,

And int'rest in his death.



Let all our pow'rs be join'd

His glorious name to raise;

Let holy love fill ev'ry mine,

And ev'ry voice be praise.
