	THE LORD'S SUPPER



	[2 While in penitence we kneel, ! Thy blest presence let us feel, All Thy wondrous love reveal. [3 While on Thy dear cross we gaze, Mourning o'er our sinful ways, [Turn our sadness into praise. 4 When we taste the mystic wine, Of Thine outpoured blood the sign, Fill our hearts with love divine.	5 Draw us to Thy wounded side, Whence there flowed the healing tide; There our sins and sorrows hide. 6 From the bonds of sin release; Cold and wavering faith increase; Lamb of God, grant us Thy peace. 7 Lead us by Thy pierced hand, Till around Thy throne we stand, In the bright and better land. Rev. R. H. Baynes, 1864 574



	2 For the feast of love and peace, ! Bidding all our sorrows cease, Earnest of the kingdom's bliss, Wejgive Thee thanks, O Lord. 3 Only bread and only wine, Yet to faith the seal and sign Of the heavenly and divine! We give Thee thanks, O Lord. 4 For the words that turn our eye To the cross of Calvary,	Bidding us in faith draw nigh, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. 5 For the words that tell of home, Pointing us beyond the tomb, " Do ye this until I come." We give Thee thanks, O Lord. 6 For that coming, here foreshown, For that day to man unknown, For the glory and the throne, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Rev. Horatius Bonah, 1874
