ON THE Holy Communion.
Our blessed Lord, who loved us, and gaveHimself for us, us by his death to save;
That this his love and death might never be
Forgotten, hath ordain'd a feast, when we
With grateful hearts should still record his love,
And to blest purposes his death improve.
Oft let's remember then, and praise our Lord
At's Holy Table, where he doth afford
To worthy Guests Peace, Pardon, Grace, and Joy,
Pleasures that satisfie but never cloy.

In all our actions by this Copy write;
That our dear Lord beholding us, may find
His Sacred Image in our Life and Mind.
Thus let us with great Zeal and Holy strife
Christ's death remember, imitate his Life.
So shall we grow in grace, till from this state
Our Lord to Glory shall his friends translate:
Then shall we be where blessed Jesus is,
And feast with him in perfect endless bliss.
