HYMN 411. L. M. Costellow. [*]
The Lord's Supper.

1 Hand view salvation with our eyes,
ERE let us see thy face, O Lord,
And taste and feel the living Word,
The Bread descending from the skies.
2 Thou hast prepared this dying Lamb,
Hast set his blood before our face,
To teach the terrors of thy name,
And show the wonders of thy grace.
3 Jesus! our light! our morning star!
Shine thou on nations yet unknown;
The glory of thy people here,
And joy of spirits near thy throne.

PRATT'S COL.

HYMN 412. 7 & 6. Chaplin. [b]
The Lord's Supper.

1 LAMB of God! whose bleeding love

We now recall to mind,

Send the answer from above,

And let us mercy find;
Think on us, who think on thee,
And every burdened soul release;
Oh remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace! 2 By thine agonizing pain,

And bloody sweat, we pray; By thy dying love to man,

Take all our sins away:

Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From all iniquity release;

Oh remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace!

3 Through thy blood, by faith applied, Let sinners pardon feel:

Speak us freely justified,

And all our sickness heal;

By thy passion on the tree,

Let all our griefs and troubles cease;

Oh remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace.

HYMN 413. C. M.

The Lord's Supper.

1L The wonders of thy grace;

ORD! at thy table we behold

But most of all admire that we

Should find a welcome place

2 We, who were all defiled with sin,
And rebels to our God!

We, who have crucified thy Son,
And trampled on his blood!

3 What strange,surprising grace is this,
That we, so lost, have room!
Jesus our weary souls invites,
And freely bids us come.

u 4 Ye saints below, and hosts above!
Join all your sacred powers;

No theme is like redeeming love,
No Saviour is like ours.

HYMN 414. 7s. Pilgrim. [b]
BREAD of heaven! on thee we feed,

For thy flesh is meat indeed:

Ever let our souls be fed

With this true and living bread!
2 Vine of heaven! thy blood supplies
This blest cup of sacrifice:

Lord thy wounds our healing give,
To thy cross we look and live.

3 Day by day with strength supplied,
Through the life of him who died:
Lord of life! O let us be
Rooted, grafted, built on thee!

PRATT'S COL.

HYMN 415. 9 & 8. Bowery. [*]

1B Wine of the soul. in mercy shed!
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose death our sins are dead!
2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be thy feast to us the token,
That by thy grace our souls are fed.

READ of the world, in mercy broken!

IIYMN 416. C. M. Archdale. [*]
Joining in Covenant with God. Is. xliv 5.

COME, let us join our souls to God,

In everlasting bands;

And seize the blessings he bestows,
With eager hearts and hands.

2 Come, let us to his temple haste,
And seek his favour there;
Before his footstool humbly bow,
And pour our fervent prayer.
-3 Come, let us seal, without delay,
The covenant of his grace;
Nor shall the years of distant life
Its memory efface.

4 Thus may our rising offspring haste

To seek their fathers' God;

Nor e'er forsake the happy path

Their fathers' feet have trod.

HYMN 417. C. M. Stephens. [*]
Joining the Church of Christ.

[ocr errors]

ITNESS, ye men and angels, now,
Before the Lord we speak;

To him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we dare not break-

-2 That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield:
Nor from his cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.

g

3 We trust not in our native strength,
But on his grace rely,

That, with returning wants, the Lord
Will all our need supply.

4 O guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in thy ways;

And while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn thou our prayers to praise.

HYMN 418. L. M. Costellow. [*]
Reception into Christian Fellowship.

COME in, thou blessed of the Lord,

Enter in Jesus' precious name,
We welcome thee with one accord,
And trust the Saviour does the same.
2 Those joys which earth cannot afford,
We'll seek in fellowship to prove,
Joined in one spirit to our Lord,
Together bound by mutual love.

3 And while we pass this vale of tears,
We'll make our joys and sorrows known;
We'll share each other's hopes and fears,
And count a brother's cares our own.

[blocks in formation]

4 Once more our welcome we repeat,
Receive assurance of our love :

O may we all together meet
Around the throne of God above!

HYMN 419. S. M.

Shirland. [* or b]

Love to the Church.

'The house of thine abode,
LOVE thy kingdom, Lord,

The church our blest Redeemer saved,
With his own precious blood.

2 If e'er to bless thy sons,

My voice or hands deny,

These hands let useful skill forsake,
This voice in silence die.
3 If e'er my heart forget
Her welfare or her wo,
Let every joy this heart forsake,
And every grief o'erflow.
4 For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.

HYMN 420. L. M. Munich. [b]

For a Sunday School Union Anniversary Meeting
ROM year to year in love we meet,

1

[ocr errors]

u The tongues of thousands uttering sweet
The bosom-joy of every heart.

e 2 But time rolls on, and year by year,
We change, grow up, or pass away;
Not twice the same assembly here
Have hailed the children's festal day.
3 Death, ere another spring, shall strike
Some in our union, marked to fall;
Be young and old prepared alike,
The warning is to each, to all.

P

-4 Our times, our lives, are in thy hand;
On thee for all things we rely;
Assured, while in thy grace we stand,
To live is Christ, and gain to die.
5 Meanwhile our falling ranks renew;
Send children, teachers, in our place,
More humble, docile, faithful, true,

More like thy Son, from race to race. MONTGOMERY.

P

[blocks in formation]

2 God scorns not humble things; Here, though the proud despise, g The children of the King of kings Are training for the skies.

u

3 May none who thus are taught,
From glory be cast down,

But all through faith and patience brought
To an immortal crown.

HYMN 422. C. M. Lanesboro'. [*]

THERE

For Sunday Schools.

HERE is a glorious world of light,
Above the starry sky;

Where saints departed, clothed in white,
Adore the Lord most high.

2 And hark! amid the sacred songs
Those heavenly voices raise,

Ten thousand, thousand infant tongues
Unite and perfect praise.

-3 Those are the hymns that we shall know,
If Jesus we obey:

That is the place where we shall go,

If found in wisdom's way.

4 This is the joy we ought to seek,
And make our chief concern;

For this we come, from week to week,
To read, and hear, and learn.

p 5 Soon will our earthly race be run,
Our mortal frame decay;

Children and teachers, one by one,
Must droop, and pass away.

e 6 Great God! impress the serious thought,

This day, on every breast;

That both the teachers and the taught
May enter to thy rest.
