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...A BALLADE OF SUICIDE by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON MARY MAGDALENE by GEORGE HERBERT THE CHURCH-PORCH by GEORGE HERBERT UPON JULIA'S BREASTS by ROBERT HERRICK HYMN TO THE FLOWERS by HORACE SMITH IDYLLS OF THE KING: PELLEAS AND ETTARRE by ALFRED TENNYSON SONG AT THE FEAST OF BROUGHAM CASTLE; UPON RSTORATION OF LORD CLIFFORD by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
