Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father’s house above; when my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day, this my song through endless ages, "Jesus led me all the way"; this my song through endless ages, "Jesus led me all the way."

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: John 6:51-58 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious body sing, and the blood, all price excelling, which the world's great Lord and King, in a virgin's womb once dwelling, shed for this world's ransoming. 2 That last night, at supper lying, with the Twelve, his chosen band, Jesus, with the law complying, keeps the feast its rites demand; then, more precious food supplying, gives himself with his own hand. 3 Word-made-flesh! his word is making earthly bread his flesh to be, wine his blood; and all partaking should from sinful thoughts be free. Faith alone, sight's limits breaking, show true hearts the mystery. 4 Therefore we, before him bending, this great sacrament revere; older rituals have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inner vision clear. 5 Unto God be praise and honour: to the Father, to the Son, to the mighty Spirit, glory, ever Three and ever One: power and glory in the highest while eternal ages run.
