The triumphal Feast. 1 COME, let us lift our voices high,- And join the songs above the sky, 2 Jesus, our God, invites us here, And brings immortal blessings down 3 Victorious God! what can we pay We would devote our hearts away, 4 We give thee, Lord! our highest praiseThe tribute of our tongues; But themes, so infinite as these, 483. C. M. The Gospel-Feast. 1 HOW sweet and awful is the place, 2 While all our hearts, and all our songs, Join to admire the feast; Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,"Lord! why was I a guest? 3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice, When thousands make a wretched choice, 4 'T was the same love that spread the feast, 5 Pity the nations, O our God! 6 We long to see thy churches full, May, with one voice, and heart, and soul, 484. C. M. Remembering Christ. 1 IF human kindness meets return, 2 Oh! shall not warmer accents tell To him, who died, our fears to quell— 3 While yet his anguished soul surveyed 4 Remember thee-thy death, thy shame, O mem'ry! leave no other name 485.

C. M. Remembering Christ. 1 ACCORDING to thy gracious word,- This will I do, my dying Lord! 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there thy conflict see,- 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! Remember thee, and all thy pains, Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and mem'ry flee; When, in thy kingdom, thou shalt come— 487. SABBATH. 7s.
