[Thy body done to death below]
“Take, eat.”
Thy body done to death below,
Thou still dost freely give;
Thy blood, which is Thy life, bestow,
And in that life I live.
Jesu, my Lord, I Thee confess,
Thy love my heaven will be;
Thy care I crave, Thy name I bless,
And wish myself with Thee.
Thou still dost freely give;
Thy blood, which is Thy life, bestow,
And in that life I live.
Jesu, my Lord, I Thee confess,
Thy love my heaven will be;
Thy care I crave, Thy name I bless,
And wish myself with Thee.
Thy glorious gift to me make known,
O yield it from above;
Bless me according to Thine own
And not my feeble love;
Thou wilt not less than I have sought,
But more, my Saviour, give,
Albeit Thy promise passeth thought,
In me to grow to live.
O yield it from above;
Bless me according to Thine own
And not my feeble love;
Thou wilt not less than I have sought,
But more, my Saviour, give,
Albeit Thy promise passeth thought,
In me to grow to live.
I take and eat; I bless Thy name,
Thou mighty to atone;
Live in my heart, and free from blame
Present it at the throne.
Jesu, my Lord, I Thee confess,
Thy love my heaven will be;
Thy care I crave, Thy work I bless,
And wish myself with Thee.
Thou mighty to atone;
Live in my heart, and free from blame
Present it at the throne.
Jesu, my Lord, I Thee confess,
Thy love my heaven will be;
Thy care I crave, Thy work I bless,
And wish myself with Thee.
Amen.
