2 The harmless Lamb most innocent For us is ready slain, And we as Guests are hither sent To feed on him again.
3 But O what Love and Grace is here! When we were hungry, Christ's Body, Lord, thou didst prepare That for us he might die;
4 For nothing but his Flesh and Blood Could our poor Souls sustain; Therefore, O Lord, thou didst cry forth, O let my Lamb be slain.
5 O let his precious Blood run out, For to them it I'll give, Or else they'll perish without doubt; 'Tis do••• Come, eat, and live!
