3 The worth of him▪ and the great need You have of precious food: By Faith you must on this Lamb feed, And also drink his blood:
4 Or else you shall be sure to die, His Flesh is meat indeed; So is his Blood: O will you try? There's nothing more you need.
5 Ye who do eat his Flesh shall live, And never shall ye die; His Flesh and Blood to you does give, Take it then thankfully,
6 And sing unto the holy Lamb, Sing Praises now therefore: O praise him that he hither came! Sing Praises evermore.
