Lord Jesus Christ receive me now

Author: Thomas Kingo; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #28 (1945) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Lord Jesus Christ receive me now As with a heart contrite I bow Before Thine altar, blessed Lamb, Who bore my sorrow, sin and shame. I am today my Saviour’s guest. Bethink, my soul, the honor blest, That He, Thy Lord, will sup with thee And will Himself Thy nurture be. He offers to thee with the bread His body riven for thy aid, And with the wine His precious blood, The price of thy eternal good. How this can be, I cannot tell; He did not on the mystery dwell; No mind the secret can perceive, It is enough that I believe. Rejoice, then, O my soul today That God’s appointed servant may Now offer thee the gift so free Through which thy Lord unites with thee. O Lord, I offer Thee my soul To nourish, strengthen and make whole. Uphold me by Thy means of grace Until I see Thee face to face. Languages: English
