This feast was Jesus' high behest

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #389 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This feast was Jesus' high behest, This cup of thanks his last request. Ye, who can feel his worth, attend: Eat, drink, in mem'ry of your friend. 2 Around the patriot's bust ye throng; Him ye exalt in swelling song; For him the wreath of glory bind, Who freed from vassalage his kind. 3 And shall not he your praises reap, Who rescues from the iron sleep? The great Deliverer, whose breath Unbinds the captives ev'n of death? 4 Shall he, who, sinful men to save, Became a tenant of the grave, Unthank'd, uncelebrated, rise, Pass unremember'd to the skies? 5 Christians! unite with loud acclaim, To hymn the Saviour's welcome name. On earth extol his wondrous love; Repeat his praise in worlds above. Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #521 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This feast was Jesus' high behest, This cup of thanks his last request. Ye, who can feel his worth, attend: East, drink, in mem'ry of your friend. 2 Around the patriot's bust ye throng; Him ye exalt in swelling song; For him the wreath of glory bind, Who freed from vassalage his kind. 3 And shall not he your praises reap, Who rescues from the iron sleep? The great Deliverer, whose breath Unbinds the captives e'en of death? 4 Shall he, who, sinful men to save, Became a tenant of the grave, Unthank'd, uncelebrated, rise, Pass unremember'd to the skies? 5 Christians! unite with loud acclaim, To hymn the Saviour's welcome name. On earth extol his wondrous love; Repeat his praise in worlds above. Topics: The Eucharist commanded by Jesus; The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper
