our Lord, who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.

He will come to judge the
living and the dead.

eat; this is My (†) body, which is given
for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
73. In the same way also He took the cup after
supper, and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it,
all of you; this cup is the new testament
in My (†) blood, which is shed for the
forgiveness of sins. This do, as often
as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

When shall I come to thee?

Thy joys when shall I see?

O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
84. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet
and pleasant flow’rs
As nowhere else are seen.
85. There trees forevermore bear fruit
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels dwell
And evermore do sing.
86. Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
Around my Savior stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
87. O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare
For that bright home of love
That I may see Thee and adore
With all Thy saints above.
