1 في الليلةِ التي بها
أُسلِمَ فادينا المجيدْ
سنَّ لنا لذِكرِهِ
فريضةَ العهدِ الجديدْ

2 فإنهُ بعدَ العشا
أخذَ خبزاً وشكرْ
وبعدما باركَهُ
قال لهم لما كسَرْ

3 خُذوا كُلوا ذا جسدي ال
مكسورُ عنكُمْ للفِدى
هذا اصنعُوهُ واذكُروا
مَوتي على طولِ المدى

4 وبعد هذا رفَعَ ال
كأسَ وقالَ إذ شكرْ
خُذوا اشربوا جميعُكُمْ
منها فذا خيرُ أثرْ

5 هذا دمي من أجلكمْ
يُسفَكُ غسلاً للذنوبْ
هذا دمُ العهدِ الذي
بها تُطَهرُ القلوبْ
