"This do in remembrance of me. "This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." xxii. 19,20. "And as they were eating, Jesus look bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. "And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it: "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. "But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." xxvi. 26-29.

Bow thee to earth, and from thee cast All stubbornness of human will; Then dare to drink the sacred cup Thy God and Saviour died to fill.

If thou art humble as a child, When lisping at his mother's knee, His first meek words of earnest prayer; That sacred cup may be for thee.
