P. 211

the; LORD'S SUPPER,
                3  This holy bread and wine
                    Maintain our fainting breath,
                  By union with our living Lord,
                    And interest in his death.
                4  Our heavenly Father calls
                    Christ and his members one;
                  We the dear children of his love,
                    And he the first-born Son.
                5  We are but several parts
                    Of the same broken bread ;
                  One body hath its several limbs,
                    But Jesus is the head.
                6  Let all our powers be joined,
                    His glorious name to raise;
                  Pleasure and love fill every mind,
                    And every voice be praise.
                245               C. M.
                         Christ is meat and drink indeed.
                1  | ORD, at thy table I behold
                   L* The wonders of thy grace,
                   But most of all admire, that I
                     Should find a welcome place.
                 2  I, that am all defiled with sin,
                     A rebel to my God ;
                   I,  that have crucified his son
                     And trampled on his blood !
                 3  What strange, surprising grace is tlii.<
                     That such a soul has room !
                   My Saviour takes me by the hand,
                     My Jesus bids me come.
                 4  Eat, O my friends, the Saviour cries,
                     The feast was made for you ;
                                    • 92
