Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast prepared A feast for our salvation, It is Thy body and Thy blood; And at Thy invitation As weary souls, with sin oppressed, We come to Thee for needed rest, For comfort, and for pardon. Although Thou didst to Heav???n ascend, Where angel hosts are dwelling, And in Thy presence they behold Thy glory, all excelling, And though Thy people shall not see Thy glory and Thy majesty Till dawns the Judgment morning. Yet, Savior, Thou art not confined To any habitation, But Thou art present everywhere And with Thy congregation. Firm as a rock this truth shall stand, Unmoved by any daring hand Or subtle craft and cunning. We eat this bread and drink this cup, Thy precious Word believing That Thy true body and Thy blood Our lips are here receiving. This word remains forever true, And there is naught Thou canst not do; For Thou, Lord, art almighty. Though reason cannot understand Yet faith this truth embraces; Thy body, Lord, is everywhere At once in many places. How this can be I leave to Thee, Thy Word alone sufficeth me, I trust its truth unfailing. Lord, I believe what Thou hast said, Help me when doubts assail me; Remember that I am but dust And let my faith not fail me. Thy Supper in this vale of tears Refreshes me and stills my fears And is my priceless treasure. Grant that we worthily receive Thy Supper, Lord, our Savior, And, truly grieving o???er our sins, May prove by our behavior That we are thankful for Thy grace And day by day may run our race, In holiness increasing. For Thy consoling Supper, Lord, Be praised throughout all ages! Preserve it, for in every place The world against it rages. Grant that this sacrament may be A bless??d comfort unto me When living and when dying.
