Tune: | SONG 46 |
Composer: | Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625 |
1 Draw nigh and take the body of the Lord,
and drink the holy blood for you outpoured.
2 Saved by that body and that holy blood,
with souls refreshed, we render thanks to God.
3 Salvation's giver, Christ, the only Son,
by his dear cross and blood the victory won.
4 Offered was he for greatest and for least,
himself the victim, and himself the priest.
5 Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere,
and take the pledges of salvation here.
