You lifted up the communion's cup that we might share in the fellowship of your sufferings
You did not let pass from your lips but drank the bitter cup of agony in a lonely dark garden that is our eternal bliss
The Wine of Grace which gave us life and freedom was the taste of death for you as you poured out your life into this cup
Oh Captain, my Captain through the bread of your flesh this precious cup of blood we partake of the destruction of death and hell the resurrection of life
In the darkest moment of all history you poured out your crimson glory for your eternal Victory
You declared us brethren in praise to your Father Your are the child given for signs and wonders the way back into the Kingdom for Israel from the Lord of hosts who dwells in Zion Let us drink the cup and give thanks for joy everlasting
