     1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. 3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.(KJV)

1. Invited, Lord, by boundless grace, 
I stand a guest before Thy face; 
As Host Thou spreadst no common food: 
Here is Thy body and Thy blood. 

2. How holy is this Sacrament 
Where pardon, peace, and life are spent! 
This bread and cup my lips have pressed; 
Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed. 

3. Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart 
With full assurance in his heart. 
For such communion, Lord, with Thee 
A new life may my offering be. 

4. When Thou shalt in Thy glory come 
To gather all Thy people home, 
Then let me, as Thy heavenly guest, 
In anthems praise Thee with the blest.
