The Psalms of David ‎#H29

H29. Bread and Wine

1 Jesus invites his saints
To meet around his board:
Here pardon'd rebels sit and hold
Communion with their Lord.

2 For food he gives his flesh;
He bids us drink his blood;
amazing favour matchless grace
Of our descending God!

3 The holy elements
Remain mere wine and bread,
But signify and seal the love
Of Christ our cov'nant head.

4 Let all our pow'rs be join'd,
His glorious name to raise:
Pleasure and love fill ev'ry mind,
And ev'ry voice be praise.
