Composer: | William Batchelder Bradbury |
1 Before to His sad death He went
Jesus ordained the Sacrament.
His flesh and blood thro' power divine
Is in, with, under, bread ad wine.
2 The Sacrament gives grace and life
To quit ourselves like men in strife.
Against all sin, affliction, need,
It gives us health and strength indeed.
3 Lord, with this bread grant us such good;
Refresh us with Thy precious blood.
That stills the thirst of our faint soul
And makes our spirits strong and whole.
4 O Christ, grant Thou in grace that we
May now receive Thee worthily.
Forbid it, Lord! that we receive
Thee unto judgment. Let us live!
