Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Draw near and take the body of our Lord, and drink his holy blood for you outpoured, saved by that body and that precious blood, our souls refreshed, we offer thanks to God. 2 Salvation’s giver, Christ the only Son, who by his cross and blood the victory won, offering himself for greatest and for least, himself the victim, and himself the priest. 3 The victims offered by the law of old, as signs from God, eternal mysteries told; now Christ our light, the ransom of our race, gives to his own this endless source of grace. 4 Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere, and take the promise of salvation here. Christ, who his saints in this world rules and shields, to all believers life eternal yields. 5 With heavenly bread he makes the hungry whole, gives living waters to each thirsting soul. Jesus Christ, first and last, to whom shall bow all nations at the last, is with us now.

Rise, Crowned in Light

Author: Alexander Pope, 1688-1744 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals First Line: Rise, crowned in light, imperial Salem, rise! Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes; See heav'n its sparkling portals wide display And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy temple courts adorn; See future sons and daughters, yet unborn, In crowding ranks on ev'ry side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barb'rous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in the light, and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings While ev'ry land its joyful tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed this Word, this saving pow'r, remains; Thy realms shall last, thine own Messiah reigns.
