1. Je- sus Christ, our Bless- ed Sav- ior, Turned a- way God's wrath for- ev- er; Suf- f'ring pains no tongue can tell, He saved us from the pains of hell.
 
2. To re- mind us that, to save us He hath died, His flesh He gave us With this bread, a quick- 'ning food, And with this wine, His pre- cious blood.
 
3. Who- so to this board re- pair- eth, Take good heed how He pre- par- eth; Death in- stead of life shall He Re- ceive who comes un- worth- il- y.
 
4. Praise the Fa- ther, God in hea- ven, Who such dain- ty food hath gi- ven, And for mis- deeds thou hast done Gave to die His be- lov- ed Son.
 
5. Thou shalt hold with faith un- shak- en, That this food is to be tak- en By the sick who are dis- tressed, By those whose heart is sin\- o- ppressed.
