Glory in the Cross; or, Not Ashamed of Christ Crucified

Verse 1

At thy command, our dearest Lord, here we attend thy dying feast; thy blood like wine adorns thy board, and thine own flesh feeds ev'ry guest.

Verse 2

Let the vain world pronounce it shame, and fling their scandals on his cause; we come to boast our Savior's name, and make our triumph in his cross.

Verse 3

With joy we tell the scoffing age, he that was dead has left his tomb: he lives above their utmost rage, and we are waiting till he come.
