I MY God, and is Thy table spread?
And doth Thy cup with love o'erflow?

cres Thither be all Thy children led,

And let them all Thy sweetness know.

3mfWhy are its bounties all in vain
Before unwilling hearts displayed?
Was not for you the Victim slain?
Are you forbid the children's bread?

2 mf Hail, sacred feast which Jesus makes, 4mf Oh, let Thy table honoured be
Rich banquet of His flesh and blood!

cres Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food.

And furnished well with joyful guests,
And may each soul salvation see,
That here its sacred pledges tastes !

Amen.

245 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.”

I WEARY of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven and long to enter in :
But there no evil thing may find a home;
cres And yet I hear a voice that bids me come.
ap So vile I am, how dáre I hope to stand

In the pure glory of that holy land—

Before the whiteness of that throne appear?

cres Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day:

cres Yet on mine ears the grácious tidings fall,
f "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."

4 f It is the voice of Jésus that I hear;

His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And His the blood that cán for all atone

And set me faultless there before the throne.

5 'Twas He who found me on the deathly wild,
And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child,
And day by day, whereby my soul may live,
Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.
6 mf O great Absolver, gránt my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
cres That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
f May be the garment of Thy righteousness.

7 mf Yea, Thou wilt answer fór me, righteous Lord!
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;

Thine the sharp thorns, (cres) and míne the golden crown;

f Mine the life won, (p) and Thine the life laid down.

8 mf Nought can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe:
Yet let my full heart what it can bestow;

Like Mary's gift, let my devotion prove,
cres Forgiven greatly, how I greatly love! Amen.

"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."

I mf NO; not despairingly
Come I to Thee;

No, not distrustingly

Bend I the knee.

Sin hath gone over me,
Yet is this still my plea,
Jesus hath died.

2 Ah! mine iniquity
Crimson hath been;
Infinite, infinite,

Sin upon sin:

Sin of not loving Thee,
Sin of not trusting Thee;

pp Infinite sin!

3 Lord, I confess to Thee Sadly my sin;

All I am tell I Thee,

All I have been.

cres Purge Thou my sin away,

Wash Thou my soul this day,
Lord, make me clean.

4 mf Faithful and just art Thou,
Forgiving all;

Loving and kind art Thou,
When poor ones call.
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.

5 mf Then all is peace and light
This soul within;

Thus shall I walk with Thee,
Loved though unseen;
Leaning on Thee, my God,
Guided along the road,

Nothing between! Amen.
