Matthew 26:26: Take, eat; this is My body

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Tremendous words! they all contain,
Establishing the worship pure.
Delivering the new law to man
And making the new covenant sure!
They the last testament express
And kindness of our dying Friend,
Bequeath us life, and power and peace.
And endless joys when time shall end.
