11119. Jesu, At Whose Supreme Command

1 Jesu, at whose supreme command
We thus approach to God,
Before us in Thy vesture stand,
Thy vesture dipped in blood.

2 Obedient to Thy gracious word
We break the hallowed bread,
Commemorate Thee, our dying Lord,
And trust on Thee to feed.

3 Now, Savior, now Thyself reveal,
And make Thy nature known,
Affix the sacramental seal,
And stamp us for Thine own.

4 The tokens of Thy dying love,
O let us all receive,
And feel the quickening Spirit move,
And sensibly believe.

5 The cup of blessing blest by Thee,
Let it Thy blood impart;
The bread Thy mystic body be,
And cheer each languid heart.

6 The grace which sure salvation brings
Let us herewith receive;
Satiate the hungry with good things,
The hidden manna give.

7 The living bread sent down from heaven
In us vouchsafe to be;
The flesh for all the world is given,
And all may live by Thee.

8 Now, Lord, on us Thy flesh bestow,
And let us drink Thy blood,
Till all our souls are filled below
With all the life of God.
