HYMN 27. Fourth Part. C.M.
Suffer little children to come unto me. (cont.)

4	Of pouring out the Spirit's grace,    To form the heart anew.

HYMN 27. Fifth Part. C.M.
Forbid them not.

1	BEHOLD what condescending love    Jesus on earth displays; To babes and sucklings he extends    The riches of his grace.
2	"Forbid them not," is his command;    Then why should men resist? Our children now may be baptiz'd;    The church of such consist.
3	With flowing tears and thankful hearts,    We bring them, Lord, to thee; Receive them, Jesus, to thine arms;    Thine may they ever be.
4	Thine may they be; forever thine,    Thy ransom'd purchased seed: O! let this seal of sprinkling, now,    Be own'd of thee indeed.
5	Here, parents, with thanksgiving view    Your right to what you've done; Let songs of praises sound aloud    To the great Three in One.

HYMN 28. First Part. L.M.
The Lord's Supper.

1	'TWAS on that dark, that doleful night,    When pow'rs of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight,    And friends betrayed him to his foes:
2	Before the mournful scene began,    He took the bread, and bless'd, and brake; What love thro' all his actions ran!    What wondrous words of grace he spake!

HYMN 20. First Part. L.M.
God the Holy Ghost. (cont.)

3	This is my body, broke for sin,    Receive and eat the living food; Then took the cup, and bless'd the wine:    'Tis the new cov'nant in my blood.
4	For us his flesh with nails was torn,    He bore the scourge, he felt the thorn; And justice pour'd upon his head    Its heavy vengeance, in our stead.
5	For us his vital blood was spilt,    To buy the pardon of our guilt; When for black crimes of greatest size,    He gave his soul a sacrifice.
6	Do this, (he cried) 'till time shall end,    In mem'ry of your dying friend: Meet at my table, and record    The love of your departed Lord.
7	Jesus, thy feast we celebrate,    We show thy death, we sing thy name; Till thou return, and we shall eat    The marriage supper of the Lamb.

HYMN 20. Second Part. L.M.
Communion with Christ at his table.

1	TO Jesus, our exalted Lord, Dear name, by hcav'n and earth ador'd! Fain would our hearts and voices raise A cheerful song of sacred praise.
2	But all the notes which mortals know, Are weak and languishing and low; Far, far above our humble songs, The theme demands immortal tongues.
3	Yet while around his board we meet, And hinnbly worship at his feet; O let our warm affections move, In glad returns of grateful love!
