'Twas on that dark, that doleful night, When all the powers of hell rose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betrayed him to his foes: Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake: What love through all his actions ran! What wondrous words of grace he spake! "This is my body broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup and blessed the wine,-- "'Tis the new covenant in my blood." "Do this," he said, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend; Meet at my table, and record The love of your departed Lord." Jesus! thy feast we celebrate; We show thy death, we sing thy name, Till thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.
