The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord

Author: H. Spegel, 1645-1714; O. Olsson, 1841-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, We celebrate with one accord; It is our comfort in distress, Our heart's sweet joy and happiness. 2 He blotted out with His own blood The judgment that against us stood; He full atonement for us made, And all our debt He fully paid. 3 That this is now and ever true He gives an earnest ever new: In this His holy Supper here We taste His love so sweet, so near. 4 His Word proclaims, and we believe. That in this Supper we receive His very body, as He said, His very blood for sinners shed. 5 A precious food is this indeed,-- It never fails us in our need-- A heav'nly manna for our soul Until we safely reach our goal. 6 O blest is each believing guest Who in this promise finds His rest, For Jesus will in love abide With those who do in Him confide. 7 The guest that comes with true intent To turn to God and to repent, To live for Christ, to die to sin, Will thus a holier life begin. 8 They who His Word do not believe, This food unworthily receive, Salvation here will never find-- May we this warning keep in mind! 9 O Jesus Christ, our Brother dear, Unto Thy cross we now draw near; Thy sacred wounds indeed make whole A wounded and benighted soul. 10 Help us sincerely to believe That we may worthily receive Thy Supper and in Thee find rest. Amen! All who believe are blest. Used With Tune: GOTTLOB, ES GEHT NUNMEHR ZU ENDE
