Lyrics

Laud, O Zion, your salvation
Laud with hymns of exultation
Christ, your king and shepherd true
Bring him all the praise you know
He is more than you bestow
Never can you reach his due
Special theme for glad thanksgiving
Is the quick'ning and the living
Bread today before you set
From his hands of old partaken
As we know, by faith unshaken
Where the Twelve at supper met
Full and clear ring out your chanting
Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting
From your heart let praises burst
For today the feast is holden
When the institution olden
Of that supper was rehearsed
Here the new law's new oblation
By the new king's revelation
Ends the form of ancient rite
Now the new the old effaces
Truth away the shadow chases
Light dispels the gloom of night
What he did at supper seated
Christ ordained to be repeated
His memorial ne'er to cease
And his rule for guidance taking
Bread and wine we hallow, making
Thus our sacrifice of peace
This the truth each Christian learns
Bread into his flesh he turns
To his precious blood the wine
Sight has fail'd, nor thought conceives
But a dauntless faith believes
Resting on a pow'r divine
Here beneath these signs are hidden
Priceless things to sense forbidden
Signs, not things are all we see
Blood is poured and flesh is broken
Yet in either wondrous token
Christ entire we know to be
Whoso of this food partakes
Does not rend the Lord nor breaks
Christ is whole to all that taste
Thousands are, as one, receivers
One, as thousands of believers
Eats of him who cannot waste
Bad and good the feast are sharing
Of what divers dooms preparing
Endless death, or endless life
Life to these, to those damnation
See how like participation
Is with unlike issues rife
When the sacrament is broken
Doubt not, but believe tis spoken
That each sever'd outward token
Doth the very whole contain
Nought the precious gift divides
Breaking but the sign betides
Jesus still the same abides
Still unbroken does remain
 Lo! the angel's food is given
To the pilgrim who has striven
See the children's bread from heaven
Which on dogs may not be spent
Truth the ancient types fulfilling
Isaac bound, a victim willing
Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling
Manna to the fathers sent
Very bread, good shepherd, tend us
Jesu, of your love befriend us
You refresh us, you defend us
Your eternal goodness send us
In the land of life to see
You who all things can and know
Who on earth such food bestow
Grant us with your saints, though lowest
Where the heav'nly feast you show
Fellow heirs and guests to be
Amen. Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
I am the living bread that came
Down from heaven, says the Lord
Whoever eats this bread will live forever
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
