O what a miracle, my Lord,
That I'm in Thee and Thou in me,
That Thou and I are really one;
O what a wondrous mystery!
That I'm in Thee and Thou in me,
That Thou and I are really one;
O what a wondrous mystery!
2
For me Thy body Thou didst give,
That I may ever share in Thee;
For me Thy precious blood was shed,
That from my sins I might be free.
That I may ever share in Thee;
For me Thy precious blood was shed,
That from my sins I might be free.

By resurrection Thou didst change
Thy form and as the Spirit come;
Thou wouldst that I be filled with Thee
That all Thy riches mine become.
Thy form and as the Spirit come;
Thou wouldst that I be filled with Thee
That all Thy riches mine become.
4
Now as the symbols we behold,
Thy loving self we see anew;
We thank Thee for Thy heart's desire
As all Thy travail we review.
Thy loving self we see anew;
We thank Thee for Thy heart's desire
As all Thy travail we review.
5
We eat the bread and drink the wine,
And to Thy sweetness we are led;
In spirit each receiving Thee,
Our spirits with Thyself are fed.
And to Thy sweetness we are led;
In spirit each receiving Thee,
Our spirits with Thyself are fed.
6
We long to eat and drink e'en more,
To take Thyself in spirit thus,
Till Thou shalt all our being fill
And true remembrance have from us.
To take Thyself in spirit thus,
Till Thou shalt all our being fill
And true remembrance have from us.

c. For the Believers to Eat and Drink,
Declaring His Death until He Comes
Christ is the object of the believers’ remembrance for them to eat and drink, declaring His death until He comes. In 1 Corinthians 11:26 Paul tells us that at the Lord’s supper we “eat this bread and drink the cup. ” The bread and the cup are the elements of the Lord’s supper, a feast, set up by Him so that we, His believers, may remember Him by enjoying Him as such a feast. This means that we should remember the Lord by eating and drinking Him. At the Lord’s supper we partake of the bread and the cup as the symbols of His body and His blood in order to enjoy Him. It is by eating, drinking, and enjoying the Lord that we remember Him. The following stanza of Hymns, #233 speaks of this:
We long to eat and drink e’en more,
To take Thyself in spirit thus,
Till Thou shalt all our being fill
And true remembrance have from us.
The more we eat, drink, and enjoy Him, the more we render Him the true remembrance. To remember the Lord is not merely to recall that Christ is God who became a man, lived as a carpenter, and was persecuted, arrested, judged, and crucified. Rather, to remember Him is to eat and drink Him, to enjoy Him. In other words, we do not remember the Lord by using our mind to meditate about the Lord; instead, we remember the Lord by exercising our spirit to feed on Him. Our remembering the Lord in such a way declares to the whole universe that we daily enjoy Him as our food and drink. He is our feast, our enjoyment.

Praise the Lord!
This hymn is so rich, so wonderful, and so all-inclusive! Christ is all that we need. He is the preeminent One, the Firstborn from among the dead, the One in whom all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of all creation.
Hallelujah 😀
