HYMNS. I. "Ye shall be filled at my Table."-EZEK, xxxix, 20. 1 O GOD, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The streams that through the desert flow, 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, 4 Thus may we all Thy words obey, And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine. Amen. II. "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." ST. JOHN vi. 37. 1 JUST as I am, without one plea, But that Thy Blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! 2 Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee, whose Blood can cleanse each spot, 3 Just as I am, though tossed about 4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind, 5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, 6 Just as I am (Thy love unknown 7 Just as I am, of that free love The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove, Here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come! Amen. III. "I am the Bread of Life."-ST. JOHN vi 35. 1 BREAD of the world, in mercy broken, 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 hearts 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. IV. Amen. "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God."-ROM. xii. 1. 1 GREAT and glorious Father, humbly we adore Thee, Poor and weak and helpless sinners in Thine. eyes; Yet, in meek obedience, low we fall before Thee, Trusting, pleading only Jesus' Sacrifice. 2 Bowed beneath Thy footstool, yet with boldness pleading This the only plea on which our hope relies, Unto Thee, O Father, all Thy mercy needing, Make we this Memorial of Christ's Sacrifice. 3 To our brother sinners we repeat the story, ('Tis the Gospel story pictured to our eyes,) Ever in this Service, till He comes in glory Showing forth the Saviour's priceless Sacrifice. 4 For His own dear members He is interceding, Far above in light unseen by mortal eyes; Yet is present now, His faithful children feeding, Giving His own Self, their one true Sacrifice. 5 Then, O gracious Father, bent in reverence lowly, We would taste the pledges we so dearly prize, Food that none may dare to take with hands unholy, Feasting on the once accepted Sacrifice. 6 Hath He died to save us, in His love so tender, And shall we repay Him nought but fruitless sighs? Nay, our souls and bodies, all we have we render: Father, for His sake accept our sacrifice. 7 Great and glorious Father, at Thy right hand glorious, As our souls to Thee in trembling worship rise, Lo! the Lamb once offered reigneth now victorious, And the Angel choirs adore His Sacrifice! 8 We too would adore Thee, Saviour, ever raising Praises to the Lamb who reigns above the skies. Oh, the mercy boundless! Oh, the love amazing! Glory be to Thee, our one true Sacrifice! Alleluia! Amen. V. "Now, therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious Name."-1 CHRON. xxix. 13. 1 Now thank we all our God, Who from our mother's arms 2 Oh! may this bounteous God 3 In this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God The Son, and Him who reigns Whom earth and heaven adore; And shall be evermore ! Amen. |
