Representative Text

1
Lord, accept our feeble praise
For the banquet given;
Though unworthy, we would raise
Hearts and hands to heaven.

2
Of the streams of grace divine
We have now been tasting:
On the mystic bread and wine
With rich comfort feasting.

3
Meat indeed Thy Flesh we find,
Drink thy Blood so precious;
Jesus, Saviour, thou art kind,
Merciful and gracious!

4
On our guilty souls Thy rod
Falls with gentle chidings;
And Thou healest with Thy Blood
All our great backslidings.

5
May we to Thy bleeding Cross
Soul and body fasten;
All for Jesus count but loss,
to His coming hasten.

6
None from trials are below
Totally exempted;
All-sufficient grace bestow,
Succor, Lord, the tempted.

7
To Thy Name, for evermore,
Be all glory given;
None on earth will we adore,
None but Thee in heaven.
