Drink of Redemption

Drink of redemption poured out for men

Propitiation and atonement for sin

Of you I drink deeply, until I am filled

Unto overflowing and so I am healed.

Your flesh became bread of affliction

Your blood became wine of libation

Drink of Redemption quench all my thirst

I taste and see you are the last and first.

Wounded and bleeding, so you were bruised

It pleased our God to see you abused

For in that obscenity is our perfect price

The for all forever supreme sacrifice.

Drink of redemption fountain of peace

Flow from the mountain in holy increase

Fill all the world with a flood that may save

We drink of the deluge the new Adam gave.
