Communion of my Saviour’s blood,
In him to have my lot and part,
To prove the virtue of that flood
Which burst on Calvary from his heart;
To feed by faith on Christ, my bread,
his body broken on the tree,
To live in him, my living head,
Who died, and rose again for me;
This be my joy and comfort here,
This pledge of future glory mine:
Jesus, in spirit now appear,
And break the bread, and pour the wine.
And thy dear hand, may I receive
The tokens of thy dying love,
And, while I feast on earth, believe
That I shall feast with thee above.
Ah! there, though in the lowest place,
Thee at thy table could I meet,
And see thee, know thee, face to face,
For such a moment death were sweet.
What then will their fruition be,
Who meet in heaven with blest accord?
A moment?—No, eternity!
They are for ever with the Lord.
