Hymnal: The Book of Worship #160 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Eat, drink, in memory of your friend!"
Such was our Master's last request;
Who all the pangs of death endured,
That we might live for ever blest.
2 Yes, we'll record Thy matchless grace,
Thou dearest, tenderest, best of friends!
Thy dying love the noblest praise
Of long eternity transcends.
3 'Tis pleasure more than earth can give,
Thy goodness through these veils to see,
Thy table food celestial yields;
And happy they who sit with Thee.
4 But oh! what vast transporting joys
Shall fill our breasts, our tongues inspire,
When, joined with the celestial train,
Our grateful souls Thy love admire! Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English
