THE LORD’S SUPPER.
3 L,et sinful joys be all forgot,
And earth grow less in our esteem ;
Christ and his love fill every thought,
And faith and hope be fixed on him.

4 While he is absent from our sight,
’Tis to prepare our souls a place,
That we may dwell in heavenly light
And live forever near his face.

257 C. M.
Remembering Christ.
1 T F human kindness meets return
1 And owns the grateful tie—
If tender thoughts within us burn,
To feel a friend is nigh—

2 Oh! shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To him who died our fears to quell,
And save from endless woe.

3 While yet his anguished soul surveyed
Those pangs he could not flee,
What love his latest words displayed—>
‘ Meet and remember me ! ’
4 Remember thee, thy death, thy shame,
The griefs which thou didst bear ?—
O memory I leave no other name
But his recorded there.
