With the bread, the cup is spread.
By partaking of these signs,
We with Thee are richly fed.
How we thank Thee for this cup,
For the cup of blessing, Lord,
Cup of Thy Salvation full,
Cup of all Thou dost afford.
That our sins may be forgiv’n;
’Tis the cov’nant made for us,
That Thy blessings may be giv’n.
Thou didst drink the cup of wrath,
Thou hast tasted death for us,
Thus the cup of blessing bought,
As the portion gained for us.
Whom we lost thru Adam’s fall;
By the shedding of Thy blood,
God becomes our all in all.
In this portion all we have—
Life and peace, redemption sure;
All that God has planned and willed,
In this portion we secure.
Overflowing cup divine;
Heav’nly taste do we enjoy
In this cup of God’s design.
Here in love we drink this cup
In remembrance, Lord, of Thee;
Thus in spirit we partake
All Thy work on Calvary.

Our LORD drank the cup of wrath, thus HE tasted death for us sinners so that we may partake of the cup of blessing which He bought as the portion gained for us. I did not deserve to enjoy the heavenly taste neverthereless our LORD said to me " come, eat my flesh and drink my blood". As the members of HIS Body, in love, we drink this come in remembrance of our LORD.
