141 OWEN (37). C.M. A REV. RICHARD OWEN. A-men. A By permission, from "New Tunes for Hymns Ancient and Modern," by the Rev. Richard Owen. [Alternative Tunes Nos. 124, 206.] SINFUL child is drawing near I come with mingled love and fear, I do not fear to seek Thy throne By all Thine unknown sufferings here, To my eternal loss. By each Communion, teach my feet Praise to the Father, and the Son, And to the Holy Ghost; From men, from saints whose work is done, 143 BOHEMIA. 6.5.6.5. D. German. A-men. JESUS! we adore Thee, [Alternative Tune No. 253.] Veiled 'neath bread and wine, Though not yet Thy glory What Thy word commanded, Thou Thyself art present, As in Bethlehem's manger, Lamb of GOD! who takest All our sins away, Cleanse our hearts and fill us With Thy love, we pray : Once a sinless Victim, Thou for sin didst bleed, Offer incense sweet; Thou wilt not despise, Heavenward they are rising, With Thy Sacrifice. Friend of little children, Hear Thy children's prayer, Take Thy lambs, Good Shepherd, To Thy tender care : Guide us, guard us, feed us, While on earth we live, And our souls in dying To Thine arms receive. Amen. |
