  1. The hour is come, the feast is nigh
    I give Myself to you
    Behold I give my blood to you
    Shed for your redemption.

  2. Till my Father's kingdom above
    Before I drink again
    By then, no more shall tears be shed
    It shall be joy for aye.

  3. This supper shall e'er continue
    Until His kingdom come
    All o'er the world shall many souls
    Eat this supper and drink.

  4. God's blessings shall be poured from heav'n
    Upon all those who eat
    And from my Father's throne on high
    I'll prepare them a place.

  5. But now, for the present I'll drink
    The bitter cup for you
    And for your sakes, I'll drink the cup
    Of sore anguish of death.

  6. Ye cannot know my deep sorrow
    Nor yet, my glory seen
    But this, continue ye to do
    And thus, remember me. Amen.
