Then shall our souls be all delight,
And every tear be dry.

Prayer at the Lord’s supper.
1 DESPLENDENT Sun, thy rays impart,
* X Shed forth tby light and heat;
Diffuse thy warmth hrougli every heart,
Make our communio” sweet.
2 Celestial breeze, awake and come,
Descend, enlivening showers,
Breath on our souls a rich perfume,
And cheer these withering flowers.
3 Sweet odors then shall spread abroad.
And fill the sacred place :
And we’ll address our Saviour God,
In songs of thankful praise.
249 C. M.
The Holy Spirit invoked at the table.
1 ^TOGETHER with these symbols Lord,
’ Thy blessed self impart,
And let thy sacred flesh and blood
Feed the believing heart.
2 Let us from all our sins be washed
In thy atoning blood ;
And let thy spirit be the seal
That we are born of God.
3 Come, holy Ghost, with Jesus’ love
Prepare us for the feast;
O let us banquet with our Lord
And lean upon his breast.
