THE CUP OF BLESSING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, at whose supreme command
Last Line: To cheer each languid heart.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


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.
