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.
