Hymn 2

[Jesus invites his saints To meet around his board; Here pardoned rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord.

For food he gives his flesh, He bids us drink his blood; Amazing favor! matchless grace Of our descending God!]

This holy bread and wine Maintains our fainting breath, By union with our living Lord, And int'rest in his death.

Our heav'nly Father calls Christ and his members one; We the young children of his love, And he the first-born Son.

We are but several parts Of the same broken bread; One body hath its several limbs, But Jesus is the head.

Let all our powers be joined His glorious name to raise; Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise.
