HYMN III. [As the 100 Psalm.] (Book 3)
THat doleful Night, when our dear LORD* 1.1
Into the Garden did retreat,
To vent his Grief in Groans, and Cries,* 1.2
In Tears, and in a bloody Sweat;
That ne're to be forgotten Night,* 1.3
When our Redeemer was betray'd;
Before his Sufferings he took Bread,
Gave Thanks, then brake't, and thus he said,
Take, eat, this is my Body broke* 1.4
For you upon the Cursed Tree:
Perform this Ord'nance as I do,
And when you do't, remember Me.
He took the Cup too, crown'd with Wine,
Bless'd it, and to's Disciples said,
'Tis the New Test'ment in my Blood,
For you, and many others shed.
All you, my Friends, must drink of this,
Your Sins Remission here you see:
Perform this Ord'nance as I do,
And when you do't, remember Me.
