313 - Holy Eucharist
1. Let thy Blood in mercy poured,
let thy gracious Body broken,
be to me, O gracious Lord,
of thy boundless love the token.
Thou didst give thyself for me,
now I give myself to thee.
2. Thou didst die that I might live;
blessed Lord, thou cam’st to save me;
all that love of God could give
Jesus by his sorrows gave me.
Thou didst give thyself for me,
now I give myself to thee.
3. By the thorns that crowned thy brow,
by the spear-wound and the nailing,
by the pain and death,
I now claim, O Christ, thy love unfailing.
Thou didst give thyself for me,
now I give myself to thee.
4. Wilt thou own the gift I bring?
All my penitence I give thee;
thou are my exalted King,
of thy matchless love forgive me.
Thou didst give thyself for me,
now I give myself to thee.
