Hymn 506
The Holy Communion
Meter: S.M. & Ref.
Scripture: Matthew 26:28
The Holy Communion
The trace of God it is
To eat the bread and drink the wine
In remembrance of Thee.
In remembrance of that feast
We are gathered today
To show the Lord’s atoning death
Until He will come back again
Until my... (Until my Father’s kingdom on high)
Before I... (Before I drink with you once again)
This is our type of passover feast
Time of deliverance is
When, I by faith, cling to that shed blood
I shall freedom receive.
Sickness and need shall flee,
Satan’s army may rise
We shall conquer them all
Thro’ the blood of the Lamb. Holy Lamb.
The blood that flowed for sin
We see, in this, the type
It is a witness in our heart
That Thou really loves us.
This little type of feast,
If it is here so sweet
How sweeter still in heav’n above
When we shall see Thy face.
Then we shall surely know
That we are your symbol
All Thy wonderful goodness ways
Proclaim for evermore.
