Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #202 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Victim Divine, your grace we claim,
As here your precious death we show;
Once offered up, a spotless lamb,
In your great temple here below,
You did for humankind atone;
And now you stand before the throne.
2 You stand within the holiest place,
As once for guilty sinners slain;
Your blood for sinners intercedes,
Redemption for the world to gain.
Your blood shall still our ransom be,
The payment made to set us free.
3 We have no need to go to heav'n
To bring the long-sought Savior down;
You are to all already giv'n,
And even now your banquet crown.
To ev'ry faithful soul appear,
And show your very presence here. Topics: Holy Communion; Atonement; Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN
