Text:Jesus invites his saints
Author:Isaac Watts
Tune:SCHUMANN
Composer:Robert Schumann

1110. Jesus invites his saints

1 Jesus invites his saints
To meet around his board,
And sup in memory of the death
And sufferings of their Lord.

2 We take the bread and wine
As emblems of thy death;
Lord, raise our souls above the sign,
To feast on thee by faith.

3 Faith eats the bread of life,
And drinks the living wine;
It looks beyond this scene of strife,
Unites us to the Vine.

4 Soon shall the night be gone,
Our Lord will come again;
The marriage supper of the Lamb
Will usher in his reign.
