While of These Emblems We Partake
While of These Emblems We Partake
1. While of these emblems we partake,
In Jesus’ name and for his sake,
Let us remember and be sure
Our hearts and hands are clean and pure.
2. For us the blood of Christ was shed;
For us on Calv’ry’s cross he bled,
And thus dispelled the awful gloom,
That else were this creation’s doom.
3. The law was broken; Jesus died
That justice might be satisfied,
That man might not remain the slave
Of death, of hell, or of the grave,
4. But rise triumphant from the tomb,
And in eternal splendor bloom;
Freed from the pow’r of death and pain,
With Christ the Lord, to rule and reign.
