Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 18

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Lift your eyes of faith, and look
On the signs He did ordain!
Thus the Bread of Life was broke,
Thus the Lamb of God was slain,
Thus was shed on Calvary
His last drop of blood for me!

See the slaughtered Sacrifice,
See the altar stain'd with blood!
Crucified before our eyes
Faith discerns the dying God,
Dying that our souls might live,
Gasping at His death, Forgive!
