4 A Banquet rich thou dost provide, A Table of Fat things; To feast our Souls, O let us eat And drink of thy own Springs.
5 The Feast is thine, of thine own cost, The Lamb is of thy Fold; It is the best in all the Flock, More precious far than Gold.
6 No spot in him was ever found, No blemish, but all pure; Yet for us he had many wounds, Thy wrath he did endure.
7 He drank the bitter of the Cup, That no wrath might remain, That we might drink in draughts of love, And come to life again,
8 And spend our days upon the Earth In joy, through thy sweet Spirit, Until we come thy glory great In Heaven to inherit.
