Verse 1

Jesus Christ, our Blessed Savior, Turned away God's
wrath forever; Suff'ring pains no tongue can tell,
He saved us from the pains of hell.

Verse 2

To remind us that, to save us He hath died, His
flesh He gave us With this bread, a quick'ning food,
And with this wine, His precious blood.

Verse 3

Whoso to this board repaireth, Take good heed how

Receive who comes unworthily.

Verse 4

Praise the Father, God in heaven, Who such dainty

Verse 5

to be taken By the sick who are distressed,
By those whose heart is sin-
