Take, drink this cup, His blood,
|
|
| 1. | Take, drink this cup, His blood, |
| | Redemption of our God. |
| | The peace which Christ has made, |
| | Is in this cup displayed. |
| | We fellowship now with the Son: |
| | On Calvary the work was done: |
| | The way is clear, now all can come! |
| 2. | Take, drink this cup, each one, |
| | His death show till He come. |
| | Eat, drink, display this feast: |
| | God in the Lamb released! |
| | Around the table, sup and dine; |
| | We eat the bread and drink the wine. |
| | All blessing in this cup we find. |
| 3. | No blood of cow or goat |
| | Could give us any hope. |
| | Our sins would all remain |
| | Still year by year the same. |
| | A God-man, sinless, He must find- |
| | No other offering of His kind, |
| | A spotless lamb for all mankind. |
| 4. | Come! Now enjoy His blood. |
| | What access this to God! |
| | Here wondrous cleansing power |
| | Flows to us, hour by hour. |
| | One sacrifice for all was made, |
| | And peace our conscience does pervade. |
| | Redemption's price is fully paid! |
| 5. | Redeemer! Savior! King! |
| | Of Thy dear blood we sing, |
| | For in it now we see |
| | Thy mercy, boundless, free. |
| | This cup, our portion blessed of God, |
| | Is of the cov'nant in Thy blood- |
| | Dear, precious, precious, priceless blood! |
