The Crescat
… Given for us, descending, Of a Virgin to proceed, Man with man in converse blending, Scattered he the Gospel seed, Till his sojourn drew to ending, Which he closed in wondrous deed.
At the last great Supper lying Circled by his brethren’s band, Meekly with the law complying, First he finished its command Then, immortal Food supplying, Gave himself with his own hand.
