Hymn 505
The hour is come, the feast is nigh
Meter: C.M.
Scripture: Matthew 26:29
1
The hour is come, the feast is nigh
I give Myself to you
Behold I give my blood to you
Shed for your redemption.
2
Till my father’s kingdom above
Before I drink again
By then, no more shall tear be shed
It shall be joy for aye.
3
This supper shall e’er continue
Until His Kingdom come
All o’er the world shall many souls
Eat this supper and drink.
4
God's blessings-shall be pour’d from heav’n
Upon all those who eat
And from my father’s throne on high
I’ll prepare them a place.
5
But now, for the present I'll drink
The bitter cup for you
And for your sakes, I'll drink the cup
Of sore anguish of death.
6
Ye cannot know my deep sorrow
Not yet, my glory seen
But this, continue ye to do
And thus, remember me.
