Music & Hymns'Twas On That Night When Doomed To Know

Music: "Rockingham," arranged by Edward Miller, 1790

'Twas on that night, when doomed to know
The eager rage of every foe,
That night in which He was betrayed,
The Savior of the world took bread.

And after thanks and glory giv'n
To Him that rules in earth and heav'n,
That symbol of His flesh He broke,
And thus to all his foll'wers spoke:

"My broken body thus I give
For you, for all. Take, eat, and live.
And oft the sacred rite renew
That brings My saving love to view."

Then in His hands the cup He raised,
And God anew He thanked and praised,
While kindness in His bosom glowed,
And from His lips salvation flowed.
