EN 3239 The Death of Jesus Christ, Our Lord
Matt.26.26
Versi Version 1
1
The death of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
We celebrate with one accord;
It is our comfort in distress,
Our heart’s sweet joy and happiness.
2
He blotted out with His own blood
The judgment that against us stood;
He full atonement for us made,
And all our debt He fully paid.
3
That this is now and ever true
He gives an earnest ever new:
In this His holy supper here
We taste His love so sweet, so near.
4
His Word proclaims, and we believe,
That in the supper we receive
His very body, as He said,
His very blood for sinners shed.
5
A precious food is this indeed—
It never fails us in our need—
A heavenly manna for our soul.
Until we safely reach our goal.
6
Oh, blest is each believing guest
Who in this promise finds his rest;
For Jesus will in love abide
With those who do in Him confide.
7
The guest that comes with true intent
To turn to God and to repent,
To live for Christ, to die to sin,
Will thus a holy life begin.
8
They who His Word do not believe
This food unworthily receive,
Salvation here will never find—
May we this warning keep in mind!
9
Help us sincerely to believe
That we may worthily receive
Thy supper and in Thee find rest.
Amen, he who believes is blest.
