Jesus Invites His Saints

Jesus invites his saints
to meet around his board;
here pardoned rebels sit and hold
communion with their Lord.

This holy bread and wine
maintains our fainting breath,
by union with our living Lord,
and int'rest in his death.

Our heav'nly Father calls
Christ and his members one;
we the young children of his love,
and he the first-born Son.

We are but sev'ral parts
of the same broken bread;
our body hath its sev'ral limbs,
but Jesus is the Head.

Let all our pow'rs be joined
his glorious name to raise;
pleasure and love fill ev'ry mind,
and ev'ry voice be praise.
