1 COME ye who bow to Sovereign grace,

Record your Saviour's love;
Join in a song of grateful praise
To him who rules above.

2 Once in the gloomy grave he lay,
But, by his rising power,

He bore the gates of death away:
Hail, mighty Conqueror!

3 Here we declare, in emblem plain,
Our burial in his grave;

And since in him we rose again,
We rise from out the wave.

your

God;

1 HEARKEN, ye children of
Ye heirs of glory, hear;

For accents so divine as these
Might charm the dullest ear.

2 Baptized into your Saviour's death,
Your souls to sin must die;
With Christ your Lord ye live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.

3 Rise from these earthly trifles, rise
On wings of faith and love;
Above, your choicest treasure lies,
And be your hearts above.

4 But earth and sin will drag us down, When we attempt to fly;

Lord, send thy strong attractive power
To raise and fix us high.

Philip Doddridge, 1755.

C. M.

1 O LORD, we see thy work set forth In this thine own command,

And here confess the wondrous worth
Of all God's love hath planned.

2 Here we recall, O blessed Lord,
Thy agonizing death,

When o'er thy holy soul were poured
The floods of righteous wrath.

3 In thee we died, -our Surety thou, -
No judgment need we fear;
The burial of our sins we now
With joy remember here.

4 Nor that alone, for we were raised
In thee, the risen Lord;

And in this act thy work is praised,
And thou thyself adored.

5 As one with thee, oh! may we know
The old things passed away;
Live the new life, and here below
The heavenly mind display.

1 LET plenteous grace descend on those Who, hoping in thy word,

This day have solemnly declared
That Jesus is their Lord.

2 With cheerful feet may they advance, And run the christian race,

And, through the troubles of the way,
Find all-sufficient grace.

James Newton, 1800.

THE LORD'S SUPPER

837.

1 AROUND thy table, holy Lord,
In fellowship we meet ;

Obedient to thy blest command,
This feast of love to eat.

2 By faith we take the bread of life,
With which our souls are fed;
And cup, in token of thy blood
That was for sinners shed.

3 Under thy banner thus we sing
The wonders of thy love,
While we anticipate by faith,
The heavenly feast above.

838.

Thomas Cotterill, 1819. a.

1 O GOD, unseen, yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;
And thus, inspired with holy fear,
Before thine altar kneel.

C. M.

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

e 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!

839.

Edmund Osler, 1835.

C. AL

1 ACCORDING to thy gracious word,
In meek humility,

This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.

2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember thee.

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

4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,

I must remember thee:

5 Remember thee, and all thy pains,
And all thy love to me;

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

6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee,

When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.

James Montgomery, 1825.

1 "THE promise of my Father's love
Shall stand forever good:

He said, and gave his soul to death,
And sealed the grace with blood.

2 To this dear covenant of thy word
I set my worthless name;
I seal the engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.

3 I call that legacy my own,

Which Jesus did bequeath;

'T was purchased with a dying groan, And ratified in death.

4 Sweet is the memory of his name
Who blest us in his will,

And to the test'ment of his love
Made his own life the seal.

841.

Isaac Watts, 1709.

C. M.

1 IF human kindness meets return,
And owns the grateful tie;
If tender thoughts within us burn
To feel a friend is nigh;

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

To him who died our fears to quell,
Our more than orphan's woe?

3 While yet his anguished soul 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.

842.

Gerard T. Noel, 1813.

C. M.

1 How sweet and awful is the place,

With Christ within the doors;

While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!
