1 Jesu, dear, redeeming Lord,
Magnify thy dying word,

Drink thy blood for sinners shed,
Taste thee in the broken bread.
3 Thou our faithful hearts prepare,
Thou thy pard'ning grace declare,
Thou that ha'st for sinners died,
Shew thyself the crucified!
4 All the power of sin remove,
Fill us with thy perfect love,
Stamp us with the stamp divine
Seal our souls for ever thine.
