THE LORD’S SUPPER.
               252                 C. M.
                             Welcome to the table.
               1  'T'HIS is the feast of heavenly wine,
                  1 And God invites to sup ;
                 The juices of the living vine
                   Were pressed to fill the cup.
                2  O bless the Saviour, ye that eat,
                    With royal dainties fed ;
                  Not heaven affords a costlier treat,
                    For Jesus is the bread.
                3  The vile, the lost, he calls to them,
                    Ye trembling souls appear ;
                  The righteous in their own esteem
                    Have no acceptance here.
                4  Approach, ye poor, nor dare refuse
                    The banquet spread for you;
                  Dear Saviour, this is welcome news
                    Then I may venture too.
                5  If guilt and sin afford a plea,
                    And may obtain a place,
                  Surely the Lord will welcome me,
                    And I shall see his face.
                253               C. M.
                              •Testis died for me.
                I 'T'HE cross of Christ inspires my heart
                   1 To sing redeeming grace ;
                  Awake, my soul, and bear a part
                    In my Redeemer’s praise.
                   )h ! what can be compared to him
                    Who died upon the tree ?
                  This is my dear delightful theme,
                    That Jesus died for me.
