CI. The Remembrance of Christ in the Supper

1 Christ, in that Night he was betray'd,
Took Bread, gave Thanks, it break and said,
My broken Body here you see;
Take, eat it, and remember me.

2 Thus also he the Cup did take;
Here's sealing Blood, shed for your sake,
Which doth my Test'ment ratify;
Let all drink, and remember me.

3 Your Pardon, with what's for your Good,
Is purchas'd with my dearest Blood;
My Blood to you makes Pardon free;
In drinking then, remember me.

4 For hungry Souls here's Manna rare,
God sends from Heaven for your Fare;
This Manna falls now plent'ously;
In eating then, remember me.

5 Here God sits on a Throne of Grace,
Where sinful Men may see his Face;
My Blood procures your access free;
In drinking then remember me.

6 See here the Tree of Life, with Fruit,
And Leaves which heal and strength recruit;
These I shake down, poor Soul, to thee;
Eat freely, and remember me.

7 See Jacob's Ladder here set up,
A covenanting God at top;
Climb, and God will transact with thee;
In doing this, remember me.

8 Hence runs of Life the River pure,
Which our Soul's Wounds doth cleanse and cure;
It freely runs to all, you see;
Drink by Faith, and remember me.
