HYMN 20. Second Part. L.M.
Communion with Christ at his table. (cont.)
4 |
Let faith our feeble senses aid,
To see thy wondrous love displayed;
Thy broken flesh, thy bleeding veins,
Thy dreadful agonizing pains.
|
5 |
Let humble penitential woe,
With painful, pleasing anguish, flow;
And thy forgiving smiles impart
Life, hope, and joy to ev'ry heart,
|
HYMN 29. S.M.
Bread and wine.
1 |
JESUS invites his saints
To meet around his board;
Here pardon'd rebels sit, and hold
Communion with their Lord.
|
2 |
For food he gives his flesh;
He bids us drink his blood;
Amazing favour! matchless grace
Of our descending God!
|
3 |
The sacred elements
Remain mere wine and bread;
But signify and seal the love
Of Christ our cov'nant head.
|
4 |
This holy bread and wine
Maintains our fainting breath;
By union with our living Lord,
And interest in his death.
|
5 |
Our heav'nly Father calls
Christ and his members one;
We the young children of his love,
And he the first born Son.
|
6 |
We are but sev'ral parts
Of the same broken bread;
The body hath its sev'ral limbs,
But Jesus is the head.

Bread and wine. (cont.)
7 |
Let all our pow'rs be join'd
His glorious name to raise:
Pleasure and love fill ev'ry mind,
And ev'ry voice be praise.
|
HYMN 30. First Part. C.M.
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many.
1 |
JESUS, in thee our eyes behold
A thousand glories more,
Than the rich gems and polish'd gold,
The sons of Aaron wore.
|
2 |
Fresh blood, as constant as the day
Was on their altar spilt;
But thy one off'ring takes away
Forever all our guilt.
|
3 |
Once, in the circuit of a year,
With blood, but not his own,
Aaron within the veil appears,
Before the golden throne.
|
4 |
But Christ, by his own pow'rful blood,
Ascends above the skies;
And, in the presence of our God,
Shows his own sacrifice.
|
HYMN 30. Second Part. P.M.
Christ our High Priest.
1 |
A GOOD high-priest is come,
Supplying Aaron's place,
And taking up his room,
Dispensing life and grace:
The law by Aaron's priesthood came,
But grace and truth by Jesus' name,
|
2 |
My Lord a priest is made,
As sware the mighty God,
To Israel and his seed,
Ordain'd to offer blood:
