Refrain:
Draw near, draw near!
Take the body of your Lord.
Draw near, draw near!
Drink the blood for you outpoured.
1 Draw near and take the body of your Lord,
And drink the holy blood for you outpoured:
Saved by his body and his holy blood,
With souls refreshed we give our thanks to God. [Refrain]
2 Christ, our Redeemer, God's eternal Son,
Has by his cross and blood the victo'ry won:
He gave his life for greatest and for least,
Himself the off'ring and himself the Priest. [Refrain]
3 Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here:
Christ, who in this life all the saints defends,
Gives all believers life that never ends. [Refrain]
4 With heav'nly bread makes those who hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsting soul:
Judge of the nations, to whom all must bow,
In this great feast of love is with us now. [Refrain]
