312 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night,

1 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night, When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes. 2 Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake; What love through all His actions ran! What wondrous words of grace He spake! 3 "This is my body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup and blessed the wine; "'Tis the new covenant in my blood." 4 "Do this," He said, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend; Meet at my table and record The love of your departed Lord." 5 Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate; We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.
