1 Herre Jesus, kom tilstede,
Vær nu her hos os idag,
Dine Troende du glæde,
Deres Synde-Skyld borttag!
Lam, som Verdens Synder bar,
Du er alt det Haab, vi har.

2 Legem dit, som er hengivet,
Og dit dyrebare Blod
Vorde Dine her til Livet,
Og en Hjertestyrkning god;
Du i dem, og de i dig,
Lad det ske miskundelig!

3 Lad dem løftes, lad dem bæres
Over alle Satans Stød,
Lad al Syndelyst fortæres,
Adam gives hen til Død,
At du selv, o Jesus kjær,
Lever, virker i dem her!
