HYMN CI. The Remembrance of Christ in the Supper

by

Listen in the reader

Christ, in that Night he was betray'd, Took Bread, gave Thanks, it break and said, My broken Body here you see; Take, eat it, and remember me.

Thus also he the Cup did take; Here's sealing Blood shed for your sake, Which doth my Test'ment ratify: Let all drink, and remember me.

Your Pardon, with what's for your Good, Is purchas'd by my dearest Blood: My Blood to you makes Pardon free; In drinking then, remember me.

For hungry Souls here's Manna rare, God sends from Heaven for your Fare; This Manna falls now plent'ously: In eating then, remember me.

Here God sits on a Throne of Grace, Where sinful Men may see his Face: My Blood procures your access free; In drinking then remember me.

See here the Tree of Life with Fruit, And Leaves which heal and strength recruit; These I shake down, poor Soul, to thee: Eat freely, and remember me.

See Jacob's Ladder here set up, A covenanting God at top: Climb, and God will transact with thee; In doing this, remember me.

Hence runs of Life the River pure, Which our Soul's-Wounds doth cleanse and cure; It freely runs to all, you see: Drink by Faith, and remember me.
