P. 209

THE LORD'S SUPPER.
                  Help each poor trembler to repeat,
                     ‘The Saviour died for me.’
                3  Thy sufferings, Lord, each sacred sign
                    To our remembrance brings ;
                  We eat the bread and drink the wine,
                     But think on nobler things.
                4  O tune our tongues, and put in frame
                     Each heart that pants for thee,
                   To sing, ‘ Hosanna to the Lamb,
                     The Lamb that died for me.’
                 242               C. M.
                            Viewing the cross by faith.
                 1  | ORD, how divine thy comforts are 1
                   L* How heavenly is the place
                   Where Jesus spreads the sacred feast
                     Of his redeeming grace !
                 2  Our humble faith here takes its rise,
                     While sitting round his board,
                   And back to Calvary it flies,
                     To view its groaning Lord.
                 3  His soul, what agonies it felt,
                     When his own God withdrew,
                   And the large load of all our guilt
                     Lay heavy on him too !
                 4‘ Here,’ says the kind redeeming Lord,
                     And shows his wounded side,
                   ‘See here the spring of all your joys,
                     That opened when I died.’
                 5  He smiles and cheers my mournful heart,
                     And tells of all his pains:
                   ‘ All this,’ says he, ‘ I bore for thee,’
                     And then he smiles again.
