A Poem that might be a Hymn


The Lord

Text: Jay Watson
Tune: Coronation; Oliver Holden, 1765-1844

 
Lord, catechize us with Thy Flesh

Which is The Truth indeed

Thy Body is The food of Peace

This mercy Manna feeds

 
Lord, Eucharize us in Thy Blood

Which is The Way indeed

Thy Bloody path the drink of light

This chalice Sabbath feeds

 
Lord, purify us in Thy Flood

Which is the Life indeed

This water from Thy riven side

The cleansing font doth feed

 
Lord Trinity, for us Thy flock

The One in Three indeed

The Spirit and The Son of Thee

Thy blessing hath us freed
