Jesus Christ, our blessed Savior,

Turned away God’s wrath forever;

By His better grief and woe

He saved us from the evil foe.

Christ says: ’Come, all ye that labor,

And receive My grace and favor’;

They who feel no want nor ill

Need no physician’s help nor skill.

As His pledge of love undying,

He this precious food supplying,

Gives His body with the bread

And with the wine the blood He shed.

Praise the Father, who from heaven

Unto us such food hath given

And, to mend what we have done,

Gave unto death His only Son.

If thy heart this truth professes

And thy mouth thy sin confesses,

His dear guest thou here shalt be,

And Christ Himself shall banquet thee.

John Huss
