[Tune, Martyn, No. 771.]

1 CHRIST, who came my soul to save,
Entered Jordan's yielding wave,
Rose from out the crystal flood,
Owned and sealed the Son of God
By the Father's voice of love,
By the heaven-descending dove;
Saviour, Pattern, guide for me,
I, like him, baptized would be.

2 In the garden, o'er his soul
Sorrow's whelming waves did roll;
And on Calvary's cruel tree,
Jesus bowed in death for me.
I with him am crucified;
All my hope is he hath died;
At his feet my place I take,
Bear the cross for his dear sake.

78. D.

CHORUS.

I'll follow then my glorious Lord,
Whate'er the ties I sever;

He saves my soul, he's left his word
To guide me now and ever.

2 For me the cross and shame to bear, Dear Saviour, thou wast willing; Nor would I shrink thy yoke to wear, All righteousness fulfilling.

3 Jesus, to thee I yield my all;

In thy kind arms infold me; My heart is fixed,-no fears appall, Thy gracious power shall hold me. 1094

[Tune, Promise, No. 772.] 8s & 7s. 61.
1 GRACIOUS Saviour, we adore thee;
Purchased by thy precious blood,
We present ourselves before thee,
Now to walk the narrow road:
Saviour, guide us—
Guide us to the throne of God.
Thou didst mark our path of duty;

Thou wast laid beneath the wave;
Thou didst rise in glorious beauty
From the semblance of the grave:
We would follow
Thee, who from our sins wilt save.
1095 (Tune, Webb, No. 833.)
1 'Tis down into the water
Where we believers go,
To serve our Lord and Master
In righteous acts below;
We lay our mortal bodies

Beneath the yielding wave,
An emblem of the Saviour

Anon. 78 & 68. D.

When he lay in the grave. 2 The light of truth is spreading, And shining now for thee; And sweet its notes are sounding To set the captive free; And while this glorious message Is spreading far around, Some souls exposed to ruin, Redeeming grace have found.

2 For on that night he was betrayed,
He for us all a pattern laid:
Before his supper he did eat,

He rose and washed his brethren's feet. 3 'T was Christ, the Lord of earth and sky! He laid his royal garments by, And washed their feet, to show that we Should always kind and humble be. 4 But Peter said: "It shall not be!

Thou shalt not stoop to washing me!" O, that no Christian here may say, "I'm too unworthy to obey!"

5 "You call me Lord, and Master too: Then do as I have done to you; All my commands and counsel heed, And show your love by word and deed. 6 "Ye shall be happy if ye know

And do these things by faith, pelow; For I'll protect you till I come, And then I'll take you to your home." 1097

1 AT thy command, O Lord, our hope, We come around thy table here; We break the bread, we bless the cup, That show thy death, till thou appear. 2 Our faith adores thy bleeding love,

And trusts for life in One that died; We hope for heavenly crowns above From a Redeemer crucified.

3 Let the vain world pronounce it shame, And cast their scandals on thy cause! We come to boast our Saviour's name, And make our triumph in his cross.

4 With joy we tell the scoffing age,

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

1 'T WAS on that dark, that doleful night, When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son, God's dear delight,

And friends betrayed him to his foes: 2 Before the mournful scene began,

He took the bread, and blessed and brake: What love through all his actions ran!

What wondrous words of grace he spake! 3 "This is my body, broke for sin;

Receive and eat the living food: " Then took the cup, and blessed the wine: ""T is the new covenant in my blood." 4 "Do this," he said, " till time shall end,Meet at my table, and record, In memory of your dying Friend,

The love of your departed Lord." 5 Jesus, thy feast we celebrate,

We show thy death, we sing thy name, Till thou return, and we shall eat

The marriage supper of the Lamb.

Isaac Watts.

9:52 2

746, 932, 923.

2 And while we meet together thus, We show that we are one in thee: Thy precious blood was shed for us;

Thy death, O Lord, has set us free. 3 We have one hope that thou wilt come: Thee in the air we wait to see; Then thou wilt give thy saints a home, And we shall ever reign with thee.

1 THE sun had set on Syria's plain, The night had bloomed with stars again, When, as his fateful hour drew nigh, The Saviour knew that he must die. 2 As still drew nigh that hour of dread, Wait his disciples pale and sad, When he, with love's compassion sweet, Knelt lowly down and washed their feet. 3 Draw near to us, O Lord, we pray;

We follow in thy steps to-day; Here with thy saints 't is joy to meet, And bow, and humbly wash their feet. 4 0 thou bright King, within whose hand The ages glide like grains of sand, Now hear us pray that we may be All lowly, meek, and pure, like thee.

LOWELL MASON.

5 And when that glorious morn shall break,
And at thy voice each sleeper wake,
Remember us, O Lord, we pray;
Roll from our grave the stone away!

1 'T WAS wondrous depth of heavenly love
That brought our Saviour from above
To walk with men, a sinful race,
To seek and save them by his grace.

2 He left his own majestic bliss,

To sojourn in a world like this;
Not to be honored as deserved,
But he was here as one who served.
3 He was a true and constant friend;
He loved his chosen to the end;
And to impress a lesson meet,
He washed his dear disciples' feet.
"Ye call me Lord, and that is true;
Then do as I have done to you;
Since 't is your privilege to know,
You will be happy if you do."

1 IN imitation, Lord, of thee,

This solemn service we repeat;
For thine example, full of grace,

Has made this humble duty sweet. 2 Renew each sacred spark of love,

And vitalize the holy flame;
May union strong our hearts unite

While this we do in Jesus' name.

3 Our great Example thou shalt be,

In washing thy disciples' feet;
And as we follow thy command,
Make thou our fellowship complete.
