CHRISTIAN SABBATH.

422. C. M.

1 I REST in Christ the Son of God,
Who took the servant's form;
By faith I flee to Jesu's cross,
My covert from the storm.

2 At peace with God, no ills I dread,
The cup of blessing mine;
The Lord is risen, his precious blood
Is new and living wine.

3 Jesus put all my sins away

When bruised to make me whole; Who shall accuse or who condemn My blameless ransom'd soul?

4 0 thou destroyer, see the blood
That makes the guilty clean,

No prey of thine the soul on which
This token once is seen.

LORD'S SUPPER.

423.

.-L. M.

"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread; And, when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood; this do ye as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."-1 Cor. xi. 23-26.

1 OFT we, alas! forget the love

Of Him who bought us with his blood; Who now, as our High Priest above, E'er intercedes for us with God.

2 Oft we forget the woe, the pain,
The bloody sweat, th' accursed tree,
The wrath his soul did once sustain,
From sin and death to set us free.

3 Oft we forget that, strangers here,
This world is not our rest or home;
That, waiting till our Lord appear,
Our heart should cry, "Come, Saviour,

come !"

4 Oft we forget that we are one

With every saint that loves his name; United to him on the throne

Our life, our hope, our Lord, the same.

5 O, then, what love is here display'd!
That Jesus did this feast provide
The very night He was betray'd,
The very night before He died.

6 Here, in the broken bread and wine,
We hear him say, "Remember Me!
"I gave my life to ransom thine,

"I bore thy curse to set thee free."

7 Lord we are thine-we praise thy love-
One with thy saints, all one in Thee
We would, until we meet above,
In all our ways remember Thee

424.-7s.

1 JESUS, once for sinners slain,
From the dead was raised again;
And in heaven is now set down,
Glorious on his Father's throne.

2 He has made an end of sin,
And his blood has wash'd us clean ;
In our midst, assembled here,
Jesus stands his saints to cheer.

3 While we break the bread in faith,
We shew forth our Saviour's death;
Bread thus broken aptly shews
How his body God did bruise.
4 While by faith we drink the wine,
Of his blood we see the sign;
Precious blood, so freely spilt,
To redeem our souls from guilt,
5 Lord, we thus remember Thee;
But we long thy face to see-
Long to reach our heavenly home,
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come.”
425.-S. M.

1 WE bless our Saviour's name,
Our sins are all forgiven;
To suffer once to earth He came :
He now is crown'd in heaven.

2 His precious blood was shed,
His body bruised for sin;
Remembering this, we break the bread,
And joyful drink the wine.

3 While we remember Thee,
Lord, in our midst appear;
Let each by faith thy body see,
While we assemble here.

4 We never would forget

Thy rich, thy precious love;
Our theme of joy and wonder here,
Our endless song above.

4 O let thy love constrain
Our souls to cleave to Thee!
And ever in our hearts remain,
That word, Remember me.

426-8, 7.

1 SEE! the Saviour spreads a table,
And invites his friends to eat:
Surely none but He is able
To supply so rich a treat:
"Tis his body:

Brethren, this indeed is meat.

2 Come, and round his board assemble;
Jesus bids you now draw near:
Ye who hear his word and tremble,
Banish every servile fear :
Come and witness

That the Lord himself is here.

3 Gracious Master! bless our meeting; Grant us spiritual food,

While the world is still repeating,
"Who will shew us any good?"
On thy people

Shine from heaven thy bright abode.

427-8, 7.

1 BRETHREN, come, our Saviour bids us— Bids us to a feast of love :

Bless the Lord, whose bounty feeds us,
With provision from above:
