G7 C         Am        Em
Je-hovah our Father in heaven,

G7 C         F#dim       Dm     G7
O  this is a most sacred night!

     G7                  Gdim G7        Dm
Twas Nisan fourteen when your glory was seen

Gdim G7             F#dim      C    Gdim G7
Your justice, love, wisdom and might

    C        Am            Em
The passover lamb was then eaten

G7  C7                                F   A7 Dm
And Israels twelve tribes went fourth free.

         Dm        F#dim
Centries later our lord

        Cdim C     Cdim C
His own life blood out  poured

       G7   Dm      G7          C
To ful-fill this di-vine prophe-cy

G7    C           Am        Em
We're gathered to-gether be-fore you

G7 C            F#dim       Dm   G7
As sheep of your pasture we came,

   G7                         Gdim  G7          Dm
To praise the great love that bro't Christ from above

Gdim G7         F#dim     C   Gdim G7
And  honor your most holy name

   C             Am              Em
Be-fore us there stands a spread table

G7 C7                  F    A7 Dm
Of wine and unleavened bread.

         Dm         F#dim
They are symbols we know

      Cdim C   Cdim C
As re-mind-ers they show

          G7   Dm      G7         C
With what nour-ishment we must be fed

G7  C                Am             Em
The bread stands for Jesus Christ's body

G7 C              F#dim Dm G7
He gave on behalf of us all.

    G7                 Gdim G7        Dm
The cup of red wine is a    symbol di-vine.

Gdim G7             F#dim            C   Gdim G7
His  blood which re-deems from man's fall.

      C            Am        Em
Let's keep this Me-morial oc-casion

G7    C7                     F    A7 Dm
Fixed firmly in heart and in mind.

           Dm         F#dim
Thus we'll walk every day

          Cdim   C  Cdim C
as Christ showed us the  way

          G7   Dm      G7         C
With what nour-ishment we must be fed

       G7   Dm   G7            C
And so life ever-lasting we'll find.
