HYMN 68. L.M.
Not ashamed of Christ crucified. (cont.)
3 |
Let the vain world pronounce its shame,
And fling their scandals on the cause;
We come to boast our Saviour's name,
And make our triumphs in his cross.
|
4 |
With joy we tell the scoffing age,
He, that was dead, has left his tomb;
He lives above their utmost rage,
And we are waiting till he come.
|
HYMN 69. C.M.
His flesh is meat indeed.
1 |
HERE at thy table, Lord, we meet,
To feed on food divine;
Thy body is the bread we eat,
Thy precious blood the wine.
|
2 |
He, that prepares this rich repast,
Himself comes down and dies;
And then invites us thus to feast
Upon the sacrifice.
|
3 |
Here peace and pardon sweetly flow;
O what delightful food!
We eat the bread, and drink the wine,
But think on nobler good.
|
4 |
The bitter torment he endur'd,
Upon th' accursed tree,
For me, each welcome guest may say,
'Twas all sustain'd for me.
|
5 |
Sure then 1 was never love so free,
Dear Saviour, so divine:
Well may'st thou claim that heart of me,
Which owes so much to thine!
|
HYMN 70. P.M.
The blood of Christ.
1 |
YE sin-sick souls, draw near,
And banquet with your King,

HYMN 70. P.M.
The blood of Christ. (cont.)
1 |
His royal bounty share,
And loud hosannas sing:
Here mercy reigns, here peace abounds,
Here's blood to heal your dreadful wounds.
|
2 |
He's on a throne of grace,
And waits to answer prayer:
What tho' your sin and guilt
Like crimson doth appear;
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all thy woes.
|
3 |
O wondrous love and grace!
Did Jesus die for me?
Were all my num'rous debts
Discharg'd on Calvary?
Yes, Jesus died — the work is done;
He did for all my sins atone.
|
4 |
On earth I'll sing his love,
In heav'n I too shall join
The ransom'd of the Lord,
In accents all divine;
And see my Saviour face to face,
And ever dwell in his embrace.
|
HYMN 71. C.M.
This Cup is the New-Testament in my blood.
1 |
THE promise of my Fathers love
Shall stand for ever good;
He said, and gave his soul to death,
And seal'd the grace with blood.
|
2 |
To this dear cov'nant of thy word,
I set my worthless name;
I seal th' engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.
|
3 |
The light, and strength, and pard'ning grace,
And glory, shall be mine;
