The Gospel Feast

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LIX (1786) First Line: How rich are thy provisions, Lord Lyrics: 1 How rich are thy provisions, Lord! Thy table furnish'd from above! The fruits of life o'erspread the board, The cup o'erflows with heavenly love. 2 Thine ancient family, the jews, Were first invited to the feast: We humbly take what they refuse, And Gentiles thy salvation taste. 3 We are the poor, the blind, the lame; And help was far, and death was nigh! But at the gospel call, we came, And every want receiv'd supply. 4 From the high way that leads to hell, From paths of darkness and despair, Lord, we are come with thee to dwell, Glad to enjoy thy presence here. 5 Our everlasting love shall flow, To him who left his blest abode, And fought these darksome realms below, To bring us wanderers back to God. Scripture: Luke 14:16-23 Languages: English

Christian Virtues

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LV (1786) First Line: Strait is the way, the door is strait Lyrics: 1 Strait is the way, the door is strait, That leads to joys on high; 'Tis but a few that find the gate, While crouds mistake, and die. 2 Beloved self must be deny'd, The mind and will renew'd Passion suppress'd, and patience try'd, And vain desires subdu'd. 3 The love of gold be banished hence, (That vile idolatry) And every member, every sense In sweet subjection lie. 4 The tongue, that most unruly power, Requires a strong restraint; We must be watchful every hour, And pray, but never faint. 5 Lord! can a feeble helpless worm Fulfil a task so hard? Thy grace must all my work perform, And give the free reward. Languages: English

Communion with Christ and with Saints

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LVI (1786) First Line: Jesus invites his saints Lyrics: 1 Jesus invites his saints To meet around his board: Here pardon'd rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord. 2 For food he gives his flesh; He bids us drink his blood; Amazing favour! matchless grace, Of our descending God! 3 This holy bread and wine, Maintain our fainting breath, By union with our living Lord, And interest in his death. 4 Our heavenly Father calls Christ and his members one: We are the children of his love, And he the first-born Son. 5 Let all our powers be join'd, His glorious name to raise; Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise.

The Memorial of our absent Lord

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LVII (1786) First Line: The Lord ascends above the skies Lyrics: 1 The Lord ascends above the skies, Where our weak senses reach him not; And carnal objects court our eyes, To thrust our Saviour from our thought. 2 He knows what wandering hearts we have, That lose the memory of his face; And, to refresh our minds, he gave These kind memorials of his grace. 3 The Lord of life this table spread With his own flesh and dying blood, We on the rich provision feed, And taste the wine, and bless our God. 4 Let sinful sweets be all forgot, And earth grow less in our esteem; Christ and his love fill every thought, And faith and hope be fix'd on him. 5 Whilst he is absent from our sight, 'Tis to prepare our souls a place; That we may dwell in heav'nly light, And live forever near his face. Scripture: John 14:3 Languages: English

Christ Crucify'd; the Wisdom and Power of God

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LVIII (1786) First Line: Nature with open volume stands Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands, To spread her Maker's praise abroad; And every labour of his hands Displays the wisdom of a God: 2 But in the grace that rescu'd man, His brightest form of glory shines; Here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here I behold his inmost heart, Where grace and vengeance strangely join; Piercing his Son with shaprest smart, To make the purchas'd pleasures mine. 4 Oh! the sweet wonders of that cross, Where God, the Saviour lov'd and dy'd! Her noblest life my spirit draws From his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would forever speak his name In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at his Father's throne.

Our Lord Jesus at his own table

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LX (1786) First Line: The memory of our dying Lord Lyrics: 1 The memory of our dying Lord Awakes a thankful tongue: How rich he spread his royal board, And bless'd the food, and sung. 2 Happy the men that eat this bread, But doubly bless'd was he That gently bow'd his loving head, And lean'd it, Lord, on thee. 3 By faith the same delights we taste As that great favorite did, And sit and lean on Jesus' breast, And take the sacred bread. 4 Down from the palace of the skies; The King of grace descends! "Come my beloved, eat, (he cries) "And drink salvation friends. 5 Hosannah to his bounteous love, For such a feast below! And yet he feeds his saints above With nobler blessings too. 6 Come the dear day, the glorious hour, That brings our souls to God, Then we shall need these types no more, But taste the heavenly food.

Divine Glories and Graces

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LXII (1786) First Line: How faiir their thy glories here Lyrics: 1 How fair thy glories here display'd, Great God, how bright they shine; While at thy word we break the bread, And pour the flowing wine! 2 Here thy revenging justice stands, And pleads its dreadful cause; Here saving mercy spreads her hands, Like Jesus on the cross. 3 Our cheerful hope that waiting sits, To heaven directs her sight; Here every warmer passion meets, And warmer powers unite. 4 Zeal and revenge perform their part, And rising sin destroy; Repentance comes with aching heart, Yet ne'er forbids the joy. 5 Dear saviour, change our faith to sight, Let sin forever die; Then shall our souls be all delight, And every tear be dry.

Our Saviour present at his Table

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #LXIII (1786) First Line: Come, let us join the sacred song Lyrics: 1 Come let us join the sacred song To our ascended Lord; Ye saints and angels round the throne, And we around his board. 2 Tho' rais'd beyond the worlds of light, His brighter glories shine, Where purer souls enjoy the sight And presence more divine. 3 Yet here, unseen by mortal eyes, The boundless God resides, Renews the atoning sacrifice And o'er the feast presides. 4 Let every hand that shares the food And every heart with fear, Feel the full presence of the God, That spreads his bounties here. 5 But Oh, the love, the wondrous love The bleeding Lord displays, Shall earth's united songs improve, And heaven's eternal praise.
