Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Laudes Domini #501 (1890) First Line: O Jesus! bruised and wounded more Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! bruised and wounded more
Than bursted grape, or bread of wheat,
The Life of life within our souls,
The Cup of our salvation sweet!
2 We come to show thy dying hour,
Thy streaming vein, thy broken flesh;
And still the blood is warm to save,
And still the fragrant wounds are fresh.
3 O Heart! that, with a double tide
Of blood and water, maketh pure;
O Flesh! once offered on the cross,
The gift that makes our pardon sure;
4 Let never more our sinful souls
The anguish of thy cross renew;
Nor forge again the cruel nails,
That pierced thy victim body through.
5 Come, Bread of heaven, to feed our souls,
And with thee, Jesus enter in!
Come, Wine of God! and as we drink,
His precious blood wash out our sin! Topics: The Lord's Supper; Church Ordinances of; Lord's Supper; Ordinances; Church Ordinances of; Lord's Supper; Ordinances Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET
