Who the true disciples are

Verse 1
Who the true disciples are,
Counted worthy to be blest,
Christ their Passover to share,
Eat with Him the mystic feast?
Those that have their sins eschew’d,
Pant for happiness above,
Seek redemption in his blood,
Long their loving Lord to love.

Verse 2
Israelites indeed they stand,
Free and disengag’d in heart,
Staves they carry in their hand,
Ever ready to depart:
Such his faithful followers be,
Eat the Christian sacrifice,
Share his immortality,
Feast with Jesus in the skies.
