When thousands make a wretched choice, 5 'Twas the same love that spread the feast, "Jesus wept."-John xi. 35. BEDDOME. So fair a face bedew'd with tears; 7s. BERRIDGE. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you."-John xiv. 27. ERE we leave thy table, Lord, Drop us down a pledge of peace; Give us all a parting word, Sealed with a parting kiss. 104th. BERRIDGE. "This is my blood of the new testament," &c.-Mark xiv. 24. THE Lord of the feast we solemnly bless, And pray that each guest may grow in his grace Thanks for his preparing this banquet of love O, may we all share in the banquet above. BERRIDGE. 2 2 3 The Leper's Prayer.—John v. 6, 7. DEFILED I am indeed; Defiled throughout by sin; Thy purple fountain, Lord, I need, The fountain open stands, Oh, put me in with thy own hards, The Love of Christ.-John xv. 13. JOIN, every tongue, to sing HART. He saved us from the wrath of God, What wondrous grace was this! He wrought the righteousness, We ran the score to lengths extreme, Hell was our just desert, And he that hell endured; Guilt broke his guiltless heart We bruised his body, spilt his blood, 446. S. M. HART. 2 The Bread of Heaven.-John vi. 5, 8. WHEN through the desert vast The chosen tribes were led, They could not plough, nor till, nor sow, Yet never wanted bread. Around their wandering camp, The copious manna fell; Strew'd on the ground, a food they found, But what they could not tell. 3 But better bread by far 4 Is now to Christians given; Poor sinners eat immortal meat, The living bread from heaven. We eat the flesh of Christ, Who is the bread of God: Their food was coarse compared with ours, Though theirs was angels' food. 447. L. M. HA. T. Sighing for the Substance of the Lord's Supper.-Luke xiv. PITY a helpless sinner, Lord, Who would believe thy gracious word, 2 Lord, in thy house I read there's room, I faint unless I feed on thee, And drink the blood as shed for me. 4 For sinners, Lord, thou camest to bleed; And I'm a sinner vile indeed. 2 3 4 Lord, I believe thy grace is free: He spared no pains, declined no load, No harsh commands he gave; He came to seek and save, Poor trembling sinners hear his call: When thus we're reconciled, He sets no rigorous tasks; His yoke is soft and mild, E'en that from him we first receive, This pure and heavenly gift, Within our hearts to move, These tokens of his love; Which seem to say, "While this you do, Remember him that died for you." 449. 104th. The Banqueting Song.-2 Thess. ii. 13, 14. HART. WHAT creatures beside, are favour'd like us? Forgiven, supplied, and banqueted thus By God, our good Father, who gave us his Son, And sent him to gather his children in one. 2 Salvation's of God, the effect of free grace, Upon us bestow'd before the world was: God from everlasting be blest, and, again, Blest to everlasting. Amen, and amen. 450. L. M. BURNHAM. "A burning and a shining light."-John v. 35. O! BLESS thy servant, dearest Lord, 451. L. M. Before Sermon.-John v. 25.
