Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Languages: English
Communion with Christ and with Saints
