384. Aquí del pan partido tomaré (Here would I feast)

1 Aquí del pan partido tomaré,
y de la copa de tu comunión;
tu nombre, mi buen Dios, invocaré,
y gozaré la paz de salvación.

2 La culpa del pecado mía fue;
más tuya fue la sangre de tu cruz.
Por ella y tu justicia tengo, sé,
perdón, consuelo y paz, Señor Jesus.

3 Nos levantamos de la cena aquí;
la fiesta pasa, mas no así el amor.
Todo se va, mas tú te quedas, sí,
cerca, muy cerca, amado Salvador.

1 Here would I feast upon the bread of God,
here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n;
here would I lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.

2 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood;
here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace:
thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord my God.

3 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear;
the feast, though not the love, is past and gone.
The bread and wine remove, but thou art here,
nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
