Twas on that dark, that doleful night When powrs of earth and hell arose Against the Son of Gods delight, And friends betrayed him to his foes. Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread and blessed and brake; What love through all his actions ran! What wondrous words of grace he spake! This is my body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food, Then took the cup and blessed the wine: Tis the new covnant in my blood. Do this, He cried, till time shall end, In memry of your dying friend; Meet at my table and record The love of your departed Lord. Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate; We show Thy death; we sing Thy name Till Thou return and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb. —Isaac Watts
