4 No more, O Satan, thee I fear; C.M. [T. B. BROWNE.] 1005 The Lord's table.—1 Cor. x. 21. I 0 JESUS Christ, the Holy One, O Jesus Christ, the lowly One, 2 Now while the symbols of Thy love 3 Come, and o'ershadow with Thy power And feed me in this solemn hour 4 My meat indeed-my drink indeed- 5 Till nourished, strengthened, satisfied, IO IO IO IO. H. BONAR. 1006 I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.—Matthew xxvį. 29. HE ERE, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, 2 Here I would feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song, This is the heavenly table, spread for me; Here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not the love, is passed and gone; The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here, Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

I LING out the banner! let it float FLING Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The cross on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner! angels bend, 3 Fling out the banner! heathen lands 4 Fling out the banner! let it float Our only hope the Crucified. 5 Fling out the banner! wide and high, 76s.

ROM Greenland's icy mountains, FRO Where Afric's sunny fountains Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Bows down to wood and stone. Salvation! O salvation! Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story; It spreads from pole to pole; L.M. MONTGOMERY. 1009 I will pour...my Spirit upon all flesh. I 0 Acts ii. 17. SPIRIT of the living God, 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare All the round earth her God to meet; 5 Baptize the nations, far and nigh, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 2 This was compassion like a God, 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, 4 Here let our hearts begin to melt, And with our joy for pardoned guilt, L.M. MONTGOMERY. 997 The communion of the body of Christ. I I Cor. x., 16. OMMUNION of my Saviour's blood, Co To prove the virtue of that flood Which burst on Calvary from His heart; And break the bread and pour the wine. 4 From Thy dear hand I receive may The tokens of Thy dying love; And, while I feast on earth, believe That I shall feast with Thee above. 5 Ah! there, though in the lowest place, Thee at Thy table could I meet, And see Thee, know Thee, face to face, For such a moment death were sweet. |
