1. DRAW nigh and take the Body of the Lord And drink the holy Blood for you out-poured. 2. Saved by His Body, hallowed by His Blood With souls refreshed we render thanks to God. 3. Salvation Giver, Christ the only Son By His dear Cross and Blood the vict’ry won. 4. Offer‘d was He for greatest and for least Himself the Victim and Himself the Priest. 5. Victim were offered by the law of old Which in a type celestial mysteries told. 6. He, Ransomer from death, and Light from shade Now gives His Holy grace His saints to aid. 7. Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere And take the pledges of Salvation here. 8. He, that in this world rules His saints, and shields To all believers life eternal yields. 9. With Heav’nly Bread makes them that hunger whole Gives Living Waters to the thirsty soul. 10. O Judge of all, our only Saviour Thou, In this Thy feast of love be with us now AMEN
