Jesus Christ Our Blessed Saviour

Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Saviour,
Turned Away God’s Wrath Forever;
By His Bitter Grief And Woe
He Saved Us From The Evil Foe.

He, To Pledge His Love Undying,
Spreads This Table, Grace Supplying,
Gives His Body With The Bread,
And With The Wine The Blood He Shed.

Banquet Gifts God Here Is Sharing;
Take Them—After Well Preparing;
For If One Does Not Believe,
Then Death For Life He Shall Receive.

Praise The Father, Who From Heaven
To His Own This Food Has Given,
Who, To Mend What We Have Done,
Gave Into Death His Only Son.

Firmly Hold With Faith Unshaken
That This Food Is To Be Taken
By The Sick Who Are Distressed,
By Hearts That Long For Peace And Rest.

Christ Says: “Come, All You That Labour,
And Received My Grace And Favour:
They That Feel No Want Nor Ill
Need No Physician’s Help Nor Skill.”

“Useless Were For Thee My Passion
If Thy Works Thy Weal Could Fashion.
This Feast Is Not Spread For Thee
If Thine Own Saviour Thou Wilt Be.”

If Thy Heart This Truth Professes,
And Thy Mouth Thy Sin Confesses,
His Dear Guest Thou Here Shalt Be,
And Christ Himself Shall Banquet Thee.
