Let them all thy blessings share; Grace on earth, and bliss in heaven. 2 In the morning of their days

May their hearts be drawn to thee;
Let them learn to lisp thy praise
In their earliest infancy.

3 Cleanse their souls from every stain, Through the Saviour's precious blood; Let them all be born again,

And be reconciled to God.

4 For this mercy, Lord, we cry;
Bend thine ever-gracious ear;
While on thee our souls rely,
Hear our prayer, in mercy, hear.

THE LORD'S SUPPER.

8s & 7s.

ON the night of that last supper,

Seated with his chosen band,
Christ, as food to all his brethren,
Gives himself with his own hand.
2 He, as man with man conversing,
Staid, the seeds of truth to sow;
Then he closed, in solemn order,
Wondrously, his life of woe.

3 Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

4 To the everlasting Father,

Through the Son who reigns on high,
Be salvation, honour, blessing,
Might, and endless majesty.

IF human kindness meets return,
And owns the grateful tie;

If tender thoughts within us burn,
To feel a friend is nigh;

2 O, shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe

To him who died, our fears to quell,
And save from death and woe?

3 While yet in anguish he surveyed
Those pangs he would not flee,
What love his latest words displayed,
"Meet and remember me!"

4 Remember thee! thy death, thy shame,
Our sinful hearts to share!
O memory, leave no other name
But his recorded there!

ACCORDING to thy gracious word,
In meek humility,

This will we do, thou dying Lord,
We will remember thee.

2 Thy body, broken for our sake,
Our bread from heaven shall be:
Thy testamental cup we take,
And thus remember thee.

3 Gethsemane can we forget?
Or there thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember thee?

4 When to the cross we turn our eyes, And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, our Sacrifice,
We must remember thee!

5 Remember thee and all thy pains;
And all thy love so free;

Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will we remember thee.

JESUS, great redeeming Lord,
Magnify thy dying word;

In thine ordinance appear;
Come, and meet thy people here.
2 In the rite thou hast enjoined,
Let us thee our Saviour find;
Drink thy blood for sinners shed,
Taste thee in the broken bread.

3. Thou our faithful hearts prepare;
Thou thy pardoning grace declare:
Thou that hast for sinners died,
Show thyself the Crucified!

4 All the power of sin remove;
Fill us with thy perfect love;
Stamp us with the stamp divine;
Seal our souls for ever thine.

LAMB of God, whose dying love

We now recall to mind,

Send the answer from above,
And let us mercy find:

Think on us who think on thee; i
And every struggling soul release,
O 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;.
O remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace!

3 Let thy blood, by faith applied,
The sinner's pardon seal;
Speak us freely justified,

And all our sickness heal:
By thy passion on the tree,

#3

Let all our griefs and troubles cease; O remember Calvary,

329

And bid us go in peace!

8s & 7s.

JESUS spreads his banner o'er us,

TA

Cheers our famished souls with food, He the banquet spreads before us, Of his mystic flesh and blood. Precious banquet; bread of heaven; Wine of gladness, flowing free; May we taste it, kindly given,

In remembrance, Lord, of thee.

2 In thy holy incarnation,

When the angels sang thy birth;
In thy fasting and temptation;
In thy labours on the earth;

In thy trial and rejection;
In thy sufferings on the tree;
In thy glorious resurrection;
May we, Lord, remember thee.

GOD, unseen, yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;

And thus, inspired with holy fear,
The great engagement seal.

2 Here may thy faithful people know
The blessings of thy love;

The streams that through the desert flow;
The manna from above.

3 We come, obedient to thy word,
To feast on heavenly food;
Our meat, the body of the Lord,
Our drink, his precious blood.

4 Thus may we all thy words obey;
For we, O God, are thine;
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed with strength divine.

331

Lo

C. M.

ORD! at thy table we behold
The wonders of thy grace;

But most of all admire that we
Should find a welcome place.

2 What strange surprising grace is this,
That such poor souls have room!
Our Saviour takes us by the hand,
Our Jesus bids us come.
