EN 4856 ’Twas on That Dark, That Doleful Night

1Cor.11.23

Versi Version 1

1

’Twas on that dark, that doleful night

When powers of earth and hell arose

Against the Son of God’s delight,

And friends betrayed Him to His foes:

2

Before the mournful scene began,

He took the bread, and blessed, and brake:

What love through all His actions ran!

What wondrous words of grace He spake!

3

“This is My body, broke for sin;

Receive and eat the living food:”

Then took the cup, and blessed the wine;

“’Tis the new cov’nant in My blood.”

4

For us His flesh with nails was torn,

He bore the scourge, He felt the thorn;

And justice poured upon His head

Its heavy vengeance in our stead.

5

For us His vital blood was spilt,

To buy the pardon of our guilt,

When, for black crimes of biggest size,

He gave His soul a sacrifice.

6

“Do this,” He cried, “till time shall end,

In memory of your dying Friend;

Meet at My table, and record

The love of your departed Lord.”

7

Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate,

We show Thy death, we sing Thy Name,

Till Thou return, and we shall eat

The marriage supper of the Lamb.
