Jesus, at whose supreme command, We now approach to God, Before us in Thy vesture stand, Thy vesture dipped in blood. Now, Saviour, now thyself reveal, And make Thy nature known; Affix Thy blessed Spirit's seal, And stamp us for Thine own. Obedient to Thy gracious word, We break the hallowed bread, Commemorate our dying Lord, And trust on Thee to feed. The cup of blessing, blessed by Thee, Let it Thy blood impart; The broken bread Thy body be, To cheer each languid heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MATRES DOLOROSAE by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES LAURA SLEEPING; ODE by CHARLES COTTON TYRANNICK [TYRANNIC] LOVE: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN MARY'S LAMB by SARAH JOSEPHA BUELL HALE SONGO RIVER; CONNECTING LAKE SEBAGO AND LONG LAKE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE FIRST BLUEBIRD by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY THE SENSITIVE PLANT by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY |
