"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me" (1 Corinthians 11:23,24).
Twelve were seated at the side
Of our Savior Jesus Christ.
All would flee, and one denied;
One betrayed Him at a price.
There our Lord was with delight,
In that fickle company.
He gave thanks on that same night
That He gave Himself for me.
Yes, amid these turncoat friends,
He gave thanks to God above.
Wondrous love that never ends:
None could quench His saving love!
On the night He was betrayed
On the night He broke the bread,
Undeterred by sheep that strayed,
Jesus suffered in our stead.
