Lyrics

Blest feast of love divine!
'Tis grace that makes us free.
to feed upon this bread and wine,
In memory, Lord, of Thee.

But if this glimpse of love
Is so divinely sweet,
What will it be, O Lord, above,
Thy gladdening smile to meet.

to see Thee face to face,
Thy perfect likeness wear,
And all Thy ways of wondrous grace
Through endless years declare!
