Refrain:
Draw near, draw near!
Take the body of your Lord.
Draw near, draw near!
Drink the blood for you outpoured.

1 Draw near and take the body of your Lord,
and drink the holy blood for you outpoured:
Saved by his body and his holy blood,
with souls refreshed we give our thanks to God.

2 Christ our Redeemer, God's eternal Son,
has by his cross and blood the vict'ry won:
He gave his life for greatest and for least,
Himself the off'ring and Himself the Priest. [Refrain]

3 Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere,
and take the pledges of salvation here:
Christ who in this life all the saints defends,
give all believers life that never ends. [Refrain]

4 With heav'nly bread makes those who hunger whole,
gives living waters to the thirsting soul:
Judge of the nations, to whom all must bow,
in this great feast of love is with us now. [Refrain]
