Communion with Christ at his Table

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 104 hymnals First Line: To Jesus our exalted Lord Lyrics: 1 To Jesus, our exalted Lord, (Dear name, by heaven and earth ador'd!) Fain would our hearts and voices raise A cheerful song of sacred praise. 2 But all the notes which mortals know, Are weak and languishing and low; Far, far above our humble songs, The theme demands immortal tongues. 3 Yet while around his board we meet, And worship at his glorious feet; O let our warm affections move, In glad returns of grateful love! 4 Let faith our feeble senses aid, To see thy wondrous love display'd, 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 every heart.

The first Promise

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: When by the tempter's wiles betray'd Lyrics: 1 When, by the tempter's wiles betray'd, Adam our head and parent fell; Unknown before, a pleasure spread Thro' all the mazy deeps of hell. 2 Infernal powers rejoic'd to see The new-made world destroy'd, undone; But God proclaims his great decree, Pardon and mercy thro' his son. 3 Serpent accurs'd, thy sentence read, Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel: The woman's seed shall break thy head, Thy malice faintly bruise his heel. 4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends, Assumes a mortal form, and dies; Whilst in his death, death's empire ends, And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies. 5 Dying, the king of glory deals Ruin to all his numerous foes: His power the prince of darkness feels, And sinks oppress'd beneath his woes.

Blest in perpetual sabbath-day, Without a veil between? 2 Assist me, while I wander here, Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my prayers. 3 [Release my soul from every chain, No more Hell's captive led? And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Savior bled. 4 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul, That gives it self to thee; Take all that I possess below, And give thyself to me.] 5 Thy spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my path to ceaseless joys! To Sabbaths without end. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Public Religion

Come, Lord Jesus

What lengths of distance lie between, And hills of guilt? a heavy load! 2 Our months are ages of delay, And slowly every moment wears: Fly, wingèd time, and roll away These tedious rounds of sluggish years. 3 Ye heavenly gates, loose all your chains, Let the eternal pillars bow; Blest Savior, cleave the starry plains, And make the crystal mountains flow. 4 Hark, how thy saints unite their cries, And pray and wait the general doom: Come, Thou, the Soul of all of our Joys, Thou, the Desire of Nations, come. 5 Put thy bright robes of triumph on, And bless our eyes, and bless our ears, Thou absent Love, thou dear Unknown, Thou Fairest of ten thousand Fairs.

Ye pure in heart obtain the grace To see, without a veil, his face. 4 Ye, that have here receiv'd The unction from above, And in his spirit liv'd, And thirsted for his love; Jesus shall claim you for His bride; Rejoice with all the sanctify'd. 5 Rejoice, in glorious hope Of that great day unknown, When you shall be caught up To stand before his throne; Call'd to partake the marriage feast, And lean on our Immanuel's breast. 6 The everlasting doors Shall soon the saints receive, Above those angel-powers In glorious joy to live; Far from a world of grief and sin, With God eternally shut in. 7 Then let us wait to hear The trumpet’s welcome sound; To see our Lord appear, May we be watching found; Enrob'd in righteousness divine, In which the bride shall ever shine.

Passover

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Christ, our passover, is slain Lyrics: 1 Christ, our passover, is slain, To set his people free, Free from sin's Egyptian chain, And Pharaoh's tyranny. Lord, that we may now depart, And truly serve our pardoning God, Sprinkle every house and heart With thine atoning blood. 2 Let the angel of the Lord His awful charge fulfil, Let his pestilential sword The first-born victims kill; Safe in snares and deaths we dwell, Protected by that crimson sign, From the rage of earth and hell, And from the wrath divine. 3 Wilt thou not a difference make Betwixt thy friend and foe, Vengeance on the Egyptians take, And grace to Israel shew? Know'st thou not, most righteous God, We on the paschal lamb rely? See us cover'd with the blood, And pass thy people by.
