Lyrics
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said: Take, eat for this is my body. And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying:
Drink ye all of it: For this is my blood of the new Testament, Which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit, this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
Chorale:
O word of God most holy, O wisdom from on high;
O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O light of earth’s dark sky,
We bless Thee for the radiance, That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age.
