OW let our pains be all forgot,
Our hearts no more repine;

Our fuff'rings are not worth a thought,
When, Lord, compar'd with thine.

2 In lively figures here we fee,

The bleeding Prince of love; Each of us hope he dy'd for me, And then our griefs remove.

That grace divine performs;

Th' eternal God comes down and bleeds,

To nourish dying worms.

2 This foul reviving wine,

Dear Saviour, 'tis thy blood;
We thank that facred flesh of thine,

For this immortal food.]

3 The banquet that we eat,

Is made of heav'nly things;

Earth hath no dainties half so sweet,
As our Redeemer brings.

And banquet with the King;

This wine will drown your fad complaints, And tune your voice to fing

HYMN 85.

T thy command, our dearest Lord

Here we attend thy dying feaft; Thy blood like wine adorns thy board, And thine own flesh feeds ev'ry guest.

2.Our faith adores thy bleeding love,

And trufts for life in one that dy'd; We hope for heav'nly crowns above, From a Redeemer crucify'd.

3 Let the vain world pronounce its shame, And fling their fcandals on the eaufe; We come to boaft our Saviour's name,

And make our triumphs in his cross.
With joy we tell the fcoffing age;

He that was dead has left his tomb;
He lives above their utmost rage,
And we are waiting till he come.

HYMN 86.

ORD, we adore thy bounteous hand,
And fing the folemn feast;
Where sweet celeftial dainties stand,
For ev'ry willing gueft.

2 The tree of life adorns the board
With rich immortal fruit,
And ne'er an angry flaming fword
To guard the paffage to't.

3 The cup stands crown'd with living juice, The fountain flows above;

And runs down ftreaming for our use,
In rivulets of love.

4 The food prepar'd by heav'nly art,
The pleasure's well refin'd;

They fpread new life thro' ev'ry heart,
And cheer the drooping mind.

5 Shout and proclaim the Saviour's love,
Ye faints that tafte his wine:

Join with your kindred faints above,
In loud Hofannas join.

That gives fuch joy as this:
Hofanna let it found abroad,
And reach where Jefus is.

HYMN 87.

[1OME, let us lift our voices high,
High as our joys arife;

And join the fongs above the sky,
Where pleasure, never dies.

2 Jefus, the God, that fought and bled,
And conquer'd when he fell;
That rofe and at his chariot-wheels
Dragg'd all the pow'rs of hell.

[3 Jefus, the God invites us here
To this triumphal feast ;

And brings immortal bleffings down
For each redeemed gueft.]

4 The Lord! how glorious is his face
How kind his fmiles appear!

And O! what melting words he fays
To ev'ry humble ear!

"For you the children of my love,

"It was for you I dy'd;

"Behold my hands, behold my feet,

"And look into my fide.

"When I came down to free your fouls "From mifery and chaine.
