Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #273 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Draw nigh and take the Body of the Lord,
And drink the holy Blood for you outpoured.
2 Saved by that Body, hallowed by that Blood,
Whereby refreshed, we render thanks to God.
3 Salvation's giver, Christ, the only Son,
By his dear Cross and Blood the victory won. A-men.
4 Offered was He for greatest and for least,
Himself the Victim, and himself the Priest.
5 Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here.
6 He that his saints in this world rules and shields
To all believers life eternal yields;
7 With heavenly bread makes them that hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsting soul.
8 The Judge Eternal, unto whom shall bow
All nations at the last, is with us now.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: COENA DOMINI
