Diess Mahl ist unter allen Leiden
Ein wahrer Vorschmack jener Freuden.
[Hymn for Holy Communion.]
Whoso eateth My Flesh and drinketh My Blood, hath eternal Life.
St. John, vi. 54.
O Lord, Who on that last sad eve,
Ere Thou didst die to save our race,
The fruits of this Thy Death didst leave
In our New-covenant Meal of Grace;
For this, of all Thy Gifts the best,
Thy Holy Name be praised and blest!
