I. LAMB of God, whose bleeding love We now re- call to mind,

Send the answer

2 By Thine agonizing pain
And bloody sweat, we pray,
By Thy dying love to man,
Take all our sins away;
Burst our bonds and set us free,
From iniquity release;

O remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace.

3 Let Thy blood, by faith applied, The sinner's pardon seal; Speak us freely justified,

And all our sickness heal; By Thy passion on the tree,

Let our griefs and troubles cease; O remember Calvary,

And bid us go in peace.

Rev. Charles Wesley (1708-1788), 1745. Ab. and sl. alt.

2 When the weary ones we love
Enter on their rest above,

Seems the earth so poor and vast,
All our life-joy overcast?
Hush, be every murmur dumb;
It is only, till He come.

3 See, the feast of love is spread,
Drink the wine, and break the bread:
Sweet memorials,-till the Lord
Call us round His heavenly board;
Some from earth, from glory some,
Severed only, till He come.

Bp. Edward Henry Bickersteth (1825- ), 1861. Ab.

I BREAD of Heaven, on Thee I feed,
For Thy flesh is meat indeed;
Ever may my soul be fed

With this true and living bread;
Day by day with strength supplied,
Through the life of Him who died.

2 Vine of Heaven, Thy blood supplies This blest cup of sacrifice;

'Tis Thy wounds my healing give;
To Thy cross I look and live.
Thou my Life, O let me be
Rooted, grafted, built on Thee.
Josiah Conder (1789-1855), 1824.

2 Before the mournful scene began, [brake: He took the bread, and blessed, and What love through all His actions ran, What wondrous words of grace He spake.

3 "This is My body, broke for sin;

2

Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
Thou savest those that on Thee call;
To them that seek Thee, Thou art good,
To them that find Thee, All in all.

3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head,
And thirst, our souls from Thee to fill.

Receive and eat the living food:' Then took the cup, and blessed the wine, "Tis the new covenant in My blood." 4

4 "Do this," He cried, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend; Meet at My table, and record

The love of your departed Lord."

5 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.
Rev. Isaac Watts (1674-1748), 1709. Ab.

O Jesus, ever with us stay;

Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away;
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

At Dismission,

Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), 1140.
Tr. by Rev. Ray Palmer (1808- ), 1858. Ab.
L. M.
I DISMISS us with Thy blessing, Lord;
Help us to feed upon Thy Word;
All that has been amiss forgive,
And let Thy truth within us live.

L. M. 2 Though we are guilty, Thou art good;
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood;
Give every fettered soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.

I JESUS, Thou Joy of loving hearts,
Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfilled to Thee again.
