Jesu, at Whose Supreme Command

Jesu

at whose su­preme com­mand

We thus ap­proach to God

Before us in Thy ves­ture stand

Thy ves­ture dipped in blood.

Obedient to Thy gra­cious word

We break the hal­lowed bread

Commemorate Thee

our dy­ing Lord

And trust on Thee to feed.

Now

Sav­ior

now Thy­self re­veal

And make Thy na­ture known

Affix the sac­ra­ment­al seal

And stamp us for Thine own.

The to­kens of Thy dy­ing love

O let us all re­ceive

And feel the quick­en­ing Spir­it move

And sen­si­bly be­lieve.

The cup of bless­ing blest by Thee

Let it Thy blood im­part;

The bread Thy mys­tic bo­dy be

And cheer each lan­guid heart.

The grace which sure sal­va­tion brings

Let us here­with re­ceive;

Satiate the hun­gry with good things

The hid­den man­na give.

The liv­ing bread sent down from Heav­en

In us vouch­safe to be;

The flesh for all the world is giv­en

And all may live by Thee.

Now

Lord

on us Thy flesh be­stow

And let us drink Thy blood

Till all our souls are filled be­low

With all the life of God.
