JESUS invites His saints To meet around His board; Here pardoned rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord.
Blest tokens of His flesh, And of His outpoured blood: Amazing favour! matchess grace Of our descending God.
So shall the bread and wine Maintain our fainting breath, Symbols of union with our Lord, And interest in His death.
Our heavenly Father calls Christ and His members one; We, the young children of His love, And He the first-born Son.
We are but several parts Of the same broken bread; The body has its several limbs, But Jesus is the Head.
Let all our powers be joined, His glorious name to raise; Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise.
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
