with us gathering round Thy board, Here, where the pres un-seen Lord Waits to be gra-cious,charged with fu ev-ery heav-y la den soul Which here remembers T 2 3 4 5 Once more, as in that upper room Thou Who didst love Thine own unto the end, And e'en as in our hands we take, This broken bread, this precious cup of love, We do remember Thee! Ours is the bond of love divine, Which knits us each to all and all to each; That love whose ever-lengthening cords can read Here to remember Thee. Thy banquet over, as we go, Strong in the strength of this celestial meat, Speak but the word: one gra- cious word Can set the sinner free. AMEN. 2 I am not worthy; cold and bare The lodging of my soul; How canst Thou deign to enter there? Lord, speak, and make me whole. 3 I am not worthy; yet, my God, Thee, Who didst give Thy flesh and My ransom-price to pay? 4 Oh, come! in this sweet morning hour And fill with all Thy love and power 2 His body broken in our stead 3 His fearful drops of agony, 4 And thus that dark betrayal night, 5 Until the trump of God be heard, 6 O blessed hope! with this elate, er far than earth-ly guest Vouchsafe Thy presence here; y Thou in-deed dost prove The marriage vow to be, g it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. A-MEN. 2 The holiest vow that man can make, The bond that none may dare to break, Which, blest by Thee, whate'er betides, Through care-worn days each care divides, 3 On those who at Thine altar kneel, That each may wake the other's zeal Oh, grant them here in peace to live, 2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance |
