POEMS.
For the blessings of our Christian faith,
And for Thy gospel’s word.
Oh blest are those who treasure
The word of life and love,
Who tread the paths that lead them
To God’s own heaven above.
And they shall learn forever
How precious is the Lord,
How those who love His holy name
Shall reap a rich reward.
*THE LORD’S SUPPER.
Ou, miracle of grace!
On thee our thoughts shall dwell,
In hours of lonely peace,
With love unspeakable.
God gives Himself for me,
Hid in this wine and bread,
That I in life and death may be
One with our living Head.
He is our meat indeed,
Our drink, life of our life ;
Thus sanctified He ‘ll lead
Us to eternal life.
Fain would He see our hearts
Holy and pure as His,
As strong ’gainst sin and sorrow’s darts,
As full of tenderness.
So God this earth did seek,
Of human form possessed,
Salvation’s word to speak,
And clasp us to His breast.
