I’ve been looking through some Christian hymns, trying to find any that emphasise our sharing in Christ’s death and resurrection. I just came across this brief, really interesting Eucharist hymn by Charles Wesley:
1 LET all who truly bear The bleeding Saviour’s name Their faithful hearts with us prepare, And eat the Paschal Lamb.
2 This eucharistic feast Our every want supplies; And still we by his death are blessed, And share his sacrifice.
3 Who thus our faith employ, His sufferings to record, Even now we mournfully enjoy Communion with our Lord.
4 We too with him are dead, And shall with him arise; The cross on which he bows his head Shall lift us to the skies.
