Author: Edward Turney Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #538 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O love divine! O matchless grace!
Which in this sacred rite
Shines forth so full, so free, in rays
Of purest living light.
2 O wondrous death! O precious blood!
For us so freely spilt,
To cleanse our sin-polluted souls
From every stain of guilt.
3 O covenant of life and peace,
By blood and suffering sealed!
All the rich gifts of gospel grace
Are here to faith revealed.
4 Jesus, we bow our souls to Thee,
Our life, our hope, our all,
While we, with thankful, contrite hearts,
Thy dying love recall.
5 O may Thy pure and perfect love
Be written on our minds;
Nor earth, nor self, nor sin obscure
The ever-radiant lines.
Amen. Topics: The Living Church The Lord's Supper; The Lord's Supper Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:24 Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH
