“Communion with Christ, and with saints”
 By Isaac Watts, 1707

Jesus invites His saints
 To meet around His board; Here pardon’d rebels sit, and
hold Communion with their Lord.

For food He gives His flesh,
 He bids us drink His blood, Amazing favour! Matchless
grace Of our descending God!

This holy bread and wine
 Maintains our fainting breath, By union with our living
Lord, And interest in His death.

Our heavenly Father calls
 Christ and His members one; We the young children of 
His love, And He the first-born Son.

We are but several parts
 Of the same broken bread; One body hath its several limbs,
But Jesus is the head.

Let all our powers be join’d
 His glorious Name to raise; Pleasure and love fill
every mind, And every voice be praise.
