Hymn
Partaking of the Lord's Supper
Jesu, we thus obey
Thy last and kindest word,
Here in thine own appointed way
We come to meet our Lord.
The way thou hast enjoin'd
Thou wilt therein appear;
We come with confidence to find
Thy special presence here.
Whate'er th' Almighty can
To pardon'd sinners give,
The fulness of our God made man
We here with Christ receive.
