On the night of that Last Supper, seated with His chosen band,
He the Pascal victim eating, first fulfills the Law’s command;

wine into His Blood He changes;- what though sense no change discerns?
Only be the heart in earnest, faith her lesson quickly learns.

He, as Man, with man conversing, stayed, the seeds of truth to sow;
then He closed in solemn order wondrously His life of woe.
