The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

Our crucified Head
Is risen indeed!
His witnesses we
Are daily allow'd our Redeemer to see;
His presence He shows,
His blessing bestows,
And provides us our meat,
And admits us with Him at His table to sit.

By His Spirit made known
He visits His own,
Our Saviour appears,
And the needy relieves, and the comfortless cheers;
To purest delights
His disciples invites,
And His flesh is our food,
And He gives us to drink of His mystical blood.

The Saviour we love
We expect from above
In His body to come,
And receive His elect to our permanent home;
We shall see Him again
With His heavenly train,
And in triumph arise
His companions and friends to a feast in the skies.
