 1 

Lord Jesus Christ, we would remember Thee,

As, on the table, we the emblems see;

Thy holy body shadowed in the bread,

Thy precious blood is in the cup portrayed.

 
 2 

Lord, we adore Thee for Thy matchless grace,

That Thou, for us, didst take the servant's place;

From Godhead's glory to the shameful tree,

From wealth, so vast, to abject poverty!

 
 3 

O Lamb of God, we join to bless Thy name,

That Thou, on Calv'ry, bore our sin and shame;

And, by Thy death, didst put our guilt away,

Triumphant rose, our night to turn to day.

 
 4 

We see Thee now, at God's right hand enthroned,

Vested with honor and with glory crowned;

Blessed Redeemer, Savior, Lord, to Thee

Be all the glory, pow'r and majesty!
