While of These Emblems We Partake

Lyrics

1. 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. 2. For us the blood of Christ was shed;

   For us on Calvary’s cross he bled,

   And thus dispelled the awful gloom

   That else were this creation’s doom.

3. 3. The law was broken; Jesus died

   That justice might be satisfied,

   That man might not remain a slave

   Of death, of hell, or of the grave,

4. 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.
