The hymn focuses on communion and remembering the sacrifice of Jesus. It discusses how through communion, believers share in the bread of life and drink of His sacrifice. It reminds us that His body was torn for us, His blood cleanses us, and He drained death's cup so that all may enter into life with God. The hymn concludes by expressing thankfulness and a call to follow Christ and proclaim His second coming, joining in the feast in heaven around the table of the King.
