JESUS, we thus obey Thy last and kindest word: Here in Thine own appointed way We come to meet our Lord.
Our hearts we open wide To make the Saviour room; And lo! the Lamb, the Crucified, The sinner’s Friend is come.
Thus we remember Thee, And take this bread and wine As Thine own dying legacy, And our redemption’s sign.
Thy presence makes the feast; Now let our spirits feel The glory not to be expressed, The joy unspeakable.
Now let our souls be fed With manna from above, And over us Thy banner spread Of everlasting love.
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
