1 Draw nigh and take the body of your Lord,
And drink the holy blood for you out-poured.
Offered was He for greatest and for least,
Himself the victim and Himself the priest.
2 He that in this world rules His saints, and shields,
To all believers life eternal yields;
With heavenly bread makes them that hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsting soul.
3 Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here.
O Judge of all, our only Savior Thou,
In this Thy feast of love be with us now.
