Verse 1
Christ our Passover for us
Is offer’d up and slain!
Let him be remembred thus
By every soul of man:
We are bound above the rest
His oblation to proclaim,
Keep we then the solemn feast
And banquet on the Lamb.

Verse 2
Purge we all our sin away
That old accursed leaven,
Sin in us no longer stay
In us thro’ Christ forgiven:
Let us all with hearts sincere
Eat the now[1] unleavened bread,
To our Lord with faith draw near,
And on his promise feed.

Verse 3
Jesus, master of the feast,
The feast itself thou art,
Now receive thy meanest guest,
And comfort every heart:
Give us living bread to eat,
Manna that from heaven comes down,
Fill us with immortal meat,
And make thy nature known.

Verse 4
In this barren wilderness
Thou hast a table spread,
Furnish’d out with richest grace,
Whate’er our souls can need;
Still sustain us by thy love,
Still thy servants’ strength repair,
Till we reach the courts above,
And feast for ever there.
