HYMN 68. L.M.
Not ashamed of Christ crucified. (cont.)

3	Let the vain world pronounce its shame, And fling their scandals on the cause; We come to boast our Saviour's name, And make our triumphs in his cross.
4	With joy we tell the scoffing age, He, that was dead, has left his tomb; He lives above their utmost rage, And we are waiting till he come.

HYMN 69. C.M.
His flesh is meat indeed.

1	HERE at thy table, Lord, we meet,    To feed on food divine; Thy body is the bread we eat,    Thy precious blood the wine.
2	He, that prepares this rich repast,    Himself comes down and dies; And then invites us thus to feast    Upon the sacrifice.
3	Here peace and pardon sweetly flow;    O what delightful food! We eat the bread, and drink the wine,    But think on nobler good.
4	The bitter torment he endur'd,    Upon th' accursed tree, For me, each welcome guest may say,    'Twas all sustain'd for me.
5	Sure then 1 was never love so free,    Dear Saviour, so divine: Well may'st thou claim that heart of me,    Which owes so much to thine!

HYMN 70. P.M.
The blood of Christ.

1	YE sin-sick souls, draw near,    And banquet with your King,

HYMN 70. P.M.
The blood of Christ. (cont.)

1	His royal bounty share,    And loud hosannas sing: Here mercy reigns, here peace abounds, Here's blood to heal your dreadful wounds.
2	He's on a throne of grace,    And waits to answer prayer:    What tho' your sin and guilt    Like crimson doth appear; The blood of Christ divinely flows, A healing balm for all thy woes.
3	O wondrous love and grace!    Did Jesus die for me?    Were all my num'rous debts    Discharg'd on Calvary? Yes, Jesus died — the work is done; He did for all my sins atone.
4	On earth I'll sing his love,    In heav'n I too shall join    The ransom'd of the Lord,    In accents all divine; And see my Saviour face to face, And ever dwell in his embrace.

HYMN 71. C.M.
This Cup is the New-Testament in my blood.

1	THE promise of my Fathers love    Shall stand for ever good; He said, and gave his soul to death,    And seal'd the grace with blood.
2	To this dear cov'nant of thy word,    I set my worthless name; I seal th' engagement to my Lord,    And make my humble claim.
3	The light, and strength, and pard'ning grace,    And glory, shall be mine;
