On the Night Before His Crucifixion

On the night before His crucifixion
The Savior offered the sacrament
Loving symbols not cruel depictions
As He explained to them what both meant

He the bread of life would soon be broken
His suff'ring and death would give us life
The living water of which He'd spoken
Required He feel all our sins and strife

We have each taken upon us His name
Now we've come to renew our covenants
To be pronounced clean and to obtain
The measure of His spirit He grants

With contrite spirit and solemnity
May we partake of each symbol
With our hearts filled with humility
May we express to Him- We're thankful
