Holy Baptism.

149 Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

LESSED JESUS, here we stand,

Met to do as Thou hast spoken,
And this child, at Thy command,
Now we bring to Thee, in token
That to Christ it here is given,
For of such shall be His heaven.

Yes, Thy warning voice is plain,
And we fain would keep it duly,—
"He who is not born again,

Heart and life renewing truly,

Born of water and the Spirit,

Will My kingdom ne'er inherit."

Therefore hasten we to Thee;

Take the pledge we bring, oh, take it!

Let us here Thy glory see;

And in tender pity make it

Now Thy child, and leave it never;
Thine on earth, and Thine for ever.

P.M.

Make it, Head, Thy member now!
Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it!
Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou!
Way of Life, to heaven O lead it!
Vine, this branch may nothing sever,
Grafted firm in Thee for ever!

Now upon Thy heart it lies,

What our hearts so dearly treasure ;
Heavenward lead our burdened sighs;
Pour Thy blessing without measure;
Write the name we now have given,
Write it in the book of heaven.

150 Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. C.M.

N token that thou shalt not fear

IN

Christ crucified to own,

We print the cross upon thy brow,
And mark thee His alone.

In token that thou shalt not fear
Christ's conflict to maintain,
But 'neath His banner manfully,
Firm at thy post remain.

In token that thou, too, shalt tread
The path He travelled by;
Endure the cross, despise the shame,
And sit with Him on high;

Thus outwardly and visibly
We seal thee for His own;

And may the brow that wears His cross
Hereafter share His crown.

Holy Communion.

drink indeed.

READ of heaven, on Thee we feed,
For Thy flesh is meat indeed;

Ever may our souls be fed

With this true and living Bread;
Day by day with strength supplied,
Through the life of Him who died.

Vine of heaven! Thy blood supplies
This blest cup of sacrifice;
Lord, Thy wounds our healing give,
To Thy cross we look and live:
Thou my Life! O let us be
Rooted, grafted, Lord, in Thee.

152 The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

READ of the world, in mercy broken,

BREAD of the

Wine of the soul, in mercy shed; By whom the words of life were spoken, And in whose death our sins are dead;

Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be Thy feast to us the token,
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.

153 Come, for all things are now ready.

P.M.

RETHREN, come! our Saviour bids us,
Bids us to a feast of love:

Bless the Lord, whose bounty feeds us

With provision from above:
Ye for whom His life was given,
Come, and eat the Bread of Heaven!

Let us think of Him who bought us;
'Tis the Saviour's own command:
When we wandered, Jesus sought us;

Now He leads us by the hand;
Now He gives us hope, and says,
We shall sing His endless praise.
