Verse 1
How glorious is the life above
Which in this ordinance we taste;
That fulness of celestial love,
That joy which shall for ever last!

Verse 2
That heavenly life in Christ conceal’d
These earthen vessels could not bear,
The part which now we find reveal’d
No tongue of angels can declare.

Verse 3
The light of life eternal darts
Into our souls a dazling ray,
A drop of heav’n o’reflows our hearts,
And deluges the house of clay.

Verse 4
Sure pledge of extacies unknown
Shall this divine communion be,
The ray shall rise into a sun,
The drop shall swell into a sea.
