In Jesus we live, in Jesus we rest

Verse 1
In Jesus we live, in Jesus we rest,
And thankful receive his dying bequest;
The cup of salvation his mercy bestows,
And all from his Passion our happiness flows.

Verse 2
With mystical wine he comforts us here,
And gladly we join, till Jesus appear,
With hearty thanksgiving his death to record;
The living, the living should sing of their Lord.

Verse 3
He hallow’d the cup which now we receive,
The pledge of our hope with Jesus to live,
(Where sorrow and sadness shall never be found)
With glory and gladness eternally crown’d.

Verse 4
The fruit of the vine (the joy it implies)
Again we shall join to drink in the skies,
Exult in his favour, our triumph renew;
And I, saith the Saviour, will drink it with you.
