Refrain Only cowards dare refuse, Dare this gift of God misuse; Ere some friend goes to his grave, Speak a word his soul to save.

• [1Co 10:13] Conflicting Feelings

  Strange and mysterious is my life. What opposites I feel within! A stable peace, a constant strife; The rule of grace, the power of sin: Too often I am captive led, Yet daily triumph in my Head, Yet daily triumph in my Head. I prize the privilege of prayer, But oh! what backwardness to pray! Though on the Lord I cast my care, I feel its burden every day; I seek His will in all I do, Yet find my own is working too, Yet find my own is working too. I call the promises my own, And prize them more than mines of gold; Yet though their sweetness I have known, They leave me unimpressed and cold One hour upon the truth I feed, The next I know not what I read, The next I know not what I read. I love the holy day of rest, When Jesus meets His gathered saints; Sweet day, of all the week the best! For its return my spirit pants: Yet often, through my unbelief, It proves a day of guilt and grief, It proves a day of guilt and grief. While on my Savior I rely, I know my foes shall lose their aim, And therefore dare their power defy, Assured of conquest through His Name, But soon my confidence is slain, And all my fears return again, And all my fears return again. Thus different powers within me strive, And grace and sin by turns prevail; I grieve, rejoice, decline, revive, And victory hangs in doubtful scale: But Jesus has His promise passed, That grace shall overcome at last, That grace shall overcome at last.

  O throned, O crowned with all renown, Since Thou the earth hast trod, Thou reignest, and by Thee come down Henceforth the gifts of God. By Thee the suns of space, that burn Unspent, their watches hold; The hosts that turn, and still return Are swayed, and poised, and rolled. The powers of earth, for all her ills, An endless treasure yield; The precious things of ancient hills, Forest, and fruitful field; Thine is the health, and Thine the wealth That in our halls abound; And Thine the beauty and the joy With which the years are crowned. And as, when ebbed the flood, our sires Kneeled on the mountain sod, While o’er the new world’s altar fires Shone out the bow of God; And sweetly fell the peaceful spell— Word that shall aye avail— “Summer and winter shall not cease, Seed time nor harvest fail”; Thus in their change let frost and heat And winds and dew be giv’n; All fostering power, all influence sweet, Breathe from the bounteous Heav’n. Attemper fair with gentle air The sunshine and the rain, That kindly earth with timely birth May yield her fruits again; That we may feed Thy poor aright, And, gathering round Thy throne, Here in the holy angels’ sight Repay Thee of Thine own. For so our sires in olden time Spared neither gold nor gear, Nor precious wood, nor hewen stone, Thy sacred shines to rear. For there to give the second birth In mysteries and signs, The face of Christ o’er all the earth On keeling myriads shines. And if so fair beyond compare Thine earthly houses be, In how great grace shall we Thy face In Thine own palace see?

• [1Co 11:23] Of The Glorious Body Telling

  Of the glorious body telling, O my tongue, its mysteries sing. And the blood, all price excelling, Which the world’s eternal King, In a noble womb once dwelling, Shed for this world’s ransoming. Given for us, for us descending, Of a virgin to proceed, Man with man in converse blending, Scattered He the Gospel seed, Till His sojourn drew to ending, Which He closed in glorious deed. At the last great supper lying Circled by His brethren’s band, Meekly with the law complying, First he finished the command, Then, immortal food supplying, Gave Himself with His own hand. Word made flesh, by word He maketh Very bread His flesh to be; Man in wine Christ’s blood partaketh: And if senses fail to see, Faith alone the true heart waketh To behold the mystery. Therefore we, before Him bending, This great sacrament revere; Types and shadows have their ending, For the newer rite is here; Faith, our outward sense befriending, Makes the inward vision clear. Glory let us give, and blessing To the Father, and the Son; Honor, might, and praise addressing, While eternal ages run; Ever too His love confessing, Who, from both, with both is one.

  ’Twas on that dark, that doleful night When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God’s delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes: Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake: What love through all His actions ran! What wondrous words of grace He spake! “This is My body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:” Then took the cup, and blessed the wine; “’Tis the new cov’nant in My blood.” For us His flesh with nails was torn, He bore the scourge, He felt the thorn; And justice poured upon His head Its heavy vengeance in our stead. For us His vital blood was spilt, To buy the pardon of our guilt, When, for black crimes of biggest size, He gave His soul a sacrifice. “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.” 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.

And after thanks and glory giv’n To Him that rules in earth and Heav’n, That symbol of His flesh He broke, And thus to all his foll’wers spoke: “My broken body thus I give For you, for all. Take, eat, and live. And oft the sacred rite renew That brings My saving love to view.” Then in His hands the cup He raised, And God anew He thanked and praised, While kindness in His bosom glowed, And from His lips salvation flowed. “My blood I thus pour forth,” He cries, “To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is sealed, And heaven’s eternal grace revealed. “With love to man this cup is fraught; Let all partake the sacred draught; Through latest ages let it pour, In memory of My dying hour.”

  Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness; Come into the daylight’s splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Christ Whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded.

Hasten as a bride to meet Him And with loving reverence greet Him; For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal. Haste to ope the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee. He who craves a precious treasure Neither cost nor pain will measure; But the priceless gifts of heaven God to us hath freely given. Though the wealth of earth were offered, Naught would buy the gifts here offered: Christ’s true body, for thee riven, And His blood, for thee once given. Ah, how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend Who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. In my heart I find ascending Holy awe, with rapture blending, As this mystery I ponder, Filling all my soul with wonder, Bearing witness at this hour Of the greatness of God’s power; Far beyond all human telling Is the power within Him dwelling. Human reason, though it ponder, Cannot fathom this great wonder That Christ’s body e’er remaineth Though it countless souls sustaineth And that He His blood is giving With the wine we are receiving. These great mysteries unsounded Are by God alone expounded. Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten; Joy the best that any knoweth; Fount, whence all my being floweth; At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessèd food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. Lord, by love and mercy driven Thou hast left Thy throne in heaven On the cross for me to languish And to die in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness And to shed Thy blood in sadness. By this blood redeemed and living, Lord, I praise Thee with thanksgiving. Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this supper let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love’s treasure. Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

• [1Co 11:24] Draw Nigh And Take The Body Of The Lord

  Draw nigh and take the body of the Lord; And drink the holy blood for you outpoured. Saved by that body and that holy blood, With souls refreshed, we render thanks to God. Salvation’s Giver, Christ, the only Son, By His dear cross and blood the victory won. Offered was He for greatest and for least, Himself the Victim, and Himself the Priest. Victims were offered by the law of old, Which in a type this heavenly mystery told. He, Ransomer from death, and Light from shade, Now gives His holy grace His saints to aid. Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere, And take the safeguard of salvation here. He, that His saints in this world rules and shields, To all believers life eternal yields. With heavenly bread makes them that hunger whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting soul, Alpha and Omega, to Whom shall bow All nations at the doom, is with us now.

• [1Co 11:24] Till He Come

  “Till He come,” O let the words Linger on the trembling chords, Let the “little while” between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how Heaven and home Lie beyond that, “Till He come.” 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.” Clouds and conflicts round us press; Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is lost, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper, “Till He come.” See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread; Sweet memorials, till the Lord Calls us round His heavenly board; Some from earth, from glory some Severed only, “Till He come.”

• [1Co 11:26] A Parting Hymn We Sing

  A parting hymn we sing Around Thy table, Lord, Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record. Here have we seen Thy face, And felt Thy presence here; So may the savor of Thy grace, In word and life appear. The purchase of Thy blood, By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread. In self forgetting love Be our communion shown, Until we join the Church above, And know as we are known.

• [1Co 11:26] Invited Lord, By Boundless Grace

  Invited, Lord, by boundless grace, I stand a guest before Thy face; As Host Thou spreadst no common food: Here is Thy body and Thy blood. How holy is this sacrament Where pardon, peace, and life are spent! This bread and cup my lips have pressed; Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed. Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart With full assurance in his heart. For such communion, Lord, with Thee A new life may my off’ring be. When Thou shalt in Thy glory come To gather all Thy people home, Then let me, as Thy heav’nly guest, In anthems praise Thee with the blest.

• [1Co 11:27] Hail, Body True

  Hail, Body true, of Mary born, and in the manger laid, That once with thorn and scourging torn wast on the cross displayed, That every eye might there descry th’uplifted Sacrifice, Which once for all to God on high paid our redemption’s price! Hail, precious Blood, by true descent drawn from our own first sire, Yet innocent of that fell taint which fills our veins with fire, Once from the side of Him that died for love of us His kin, Drained an atonement to provide and wash away our sin! Still Thou art here amidst us, Lord, unchangeably the same; When at Thy board with one accord Thy promises we claim; But lo! the way Thou com’st today is one where bread and wine Conceal the Presence they convey, both human and divine. How glorious is that Body now, throned on the throne of Heav’n! The angels bow, and marvel how to us on earth ’tis given; Oh, to discern what splendors burn within these veils of His— That faith could into vision turn, and see Him as He is! How mighty is the Blood that ran for sinful nature’s needs! It broke the ban, it rescued man; it lives, and speaks, and pleads; And all who sup from this blest Cup in faith and hope and love, Shall prove that death is swallowed up in richer life above.

• [1Co 11:28] I Come, O Savior, To Thy Table

  I come, O Savior, to Thy table, For weak and weary is my soul; Thou, Bread of Life, alone art able To satisfy and make me whole: Refrain Lord, may Thy body and Thy blood Be for my soul the highest good! Oh, grant that I in manner worthy May now approach Thy heav’nly board And, as I lowly bow before Thee, Look only unto Thee, O Lord! Refrain Unworthy though I am, O Savior, Because I have a a sinful heart, Yet Thou Thy lamb wilt banish never, For Thou my faithful Shepherd art: Refrain Oh, let me loathe all sin forever As death and poison to my soul That I through willful sinning never May see Thy judgment take its toll! Refrain Thy heart is filled with fervent yearning That sinners may salvation see Who, Lord, to Thee in faith are turning; So I, a sinner, come to Thee. Refrain Weary am I and heavy laden, With sin my soul is sore opprest; Receive me graciously and gladden My heart, for I am now Thy guest. Refrain Thou here wilt find a heart most lowly That humbly falls before Thy feet, That duly weeps o’er sin, yet solely Thy merit pleads, as it is meet. Refrain By faith I call Thy holy table The testament of Thy deep love; For, lo, thereby I now am able To see how love Thy heart doth move. Refrain What higher gift can we inherit? It is faith’s bond and solid base; It is the strength of heart and spirit, The covenant of hope and grace. Refrain This feast is manna, wealth abounding Unto the poor, to weak ones power, To angels joy, to hell confounding, And life for me in death’s dark hour. Refrain Thy body, giv’n for me, O Savior, Thy blood which Thou for me didst shed, These are my life and strength forever, By them my hungry soul is fed. Refrain With Thee, Lord, I am now united; I live in Thee and Thou in me. No sorrow fills my soul, delighted It finds its only joy in Thee. Refrain Who can condemn me now? For surely The Lord is nigh, who justifies. No hell I fear, and thus securely With Jesus I to Heaven rise. Refrain Though death may threaten with disaster, It cannot rob me of my cheer; For He Who is of death the Master, With aid and comfort e’er is near. Refrain My heart has now become Thy dwelling, O blessèd, holy Trinity. With angels I, Thy praises telling, Shall live in joy eternally. Refrain

• [1Co 11:23] Awe-full Mystery Is Here, An

  An awe-full mystery is here To challenge faith and waken fear: The Savior comes as food divine, Concealed in earthly bread and wine. This world is loveless—but above What wondrous boundlessness of love! The King of Glory stoops to me My spirit’s life and strength to be. In consecrated wine and bread No eye perceives the mystery dread; But Jesus’ words are strong and clear; “My body and My blood are here.” How dull are all the powers of sense Employed on proofs of love immense! The richest food remains unseen, And highest gifts appear—how mean! But here we have no boon on earth, And faith alone discerns its worth. The Word, not sense, must be our guide, And faith assure since sight’s denied. Lord, show us still that Thou art good And grant us evermore this food. Give faith to every wavering soul And make each wounded spirit whole.
