Our Lord JESUS at his own Table
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXXIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Communion Songs First Line: The Mem'ry of our dying Lord Lyrics: [1 The Mem'ry 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 Fav'rite did;
And sit and lean on Jesus' Breast;
And take the heav'nly Bread.]
4 Down from the Palace of the Skies,
Hither the King descends,
"Come, my Beloved, eat," (he cries)
"And drink Salvation, Friends.
[5 "My Flesh is Food and Physick too,
"A Balm for all your Pains;
"And the red Streams of Pardon flow
"From these my pierced Veins."]
6 Hosanna to his bounteous Love
For such a Feast below!
And yet he feeds his Saints above
With nobler Blessings too.
[7 Come the dear Day, the glorious Hour,
That brings our Souls to rest!
Then we shall need these Types no more,
But dwell at th' heav'nly Feast.] Languages: English
Our Lord JESUS at his own Table
'Tis a Point I long to know
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXCVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 'Tis a Point I long to know,
Oft it causes anxious Thought,
Do I love the Lord or no?
Am I His, or am I not?
2 If I love, why am I thus?
Why this dull and lifeless Frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse,
Who have never heard his Name!
3 Could my Heart so hard remain,
Pray'r a Task and Burden prove,
Ev'ry Trifle give me Pain,
If I knew a Saviour's Love?
4 When I turn my Eyes within,
All is Dark and, Vain and Wild;
Fill'd with Unbelief and Sin,
Can I deem myself a Child?
5 If I pray, or hear, or read,
Sin is mix'd with all I do;
You that Love the LORD indeed,
Tell me, is it thus with you?
6 Yet I mourn, my stubborn Will,
Find my Sin a Grief and Thrall,
Should I grieve at what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
7 Could I joy his Saints to meet,
Choose the Ways I once abhorr'd,
Find at Times, the promise Sweet,
If I did not love the LORD?
8 LORD, decide this doubtful Case!
Thou, who art the People's Sun;
Since upon thy Work of Grace,
If indeed it be begun.
9 Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I'll pray;
If I have not lov'd before,
Help me to begin to Day. Languages: English

When rising from the Bed of Death
Yet there is Room
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXXXVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: Ye dying Sons of Men Lyrics: 1 Ye dying Sons of Men,
Immerg'd in Sin and Woe,
The Gospel's Voice attend,
Which JESUS sends to you:
Ye perishing and Guilty, come,
In JESUS' Arms there yet is Room.
2 No longer now delay,
Nor vain Excuses frame:
He bids you come To-Day,
Tho' Poor, and Blind, and Lame:
All Things are ready, Sinner come,
For every trembling Soul there's Room.
3 Believe the heav'nly Word
His Messengers proclaim;
He is a gracious LORD,
And faithful is his Name:
Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off Despair, there yet is Room.
4 Compell'd by bleeding Love,
Ye wand'ring Sheep draw near,
CHRIST calls you from above,
His Charming Accents hear!
Let whosoever will, now come:
In Mercy's Breast there still is Room.

The Sower
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXLVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough,
Break up your fallow Ground!
The Sower is gone forth to sow,
And scatter Blessings round.
2 The Seed that finds a stony Soil,
Shoots forth a hasty Blade;
But ill repays the Sower's Toil,
Soon wither'd, scorch'd , and dead.
3 The thorny Ground is sure to baulk
All Hopes of Harvest there:
We find a tall and sickly Stalk,
But not the fruitful Ear.
4 The beaten Path, and High-Way Side
Receive the Trust in vain:
The watchful Birds the Spoil divide,
And pick up all the Grain.
5 But where the LORD of Grace and Pow'r
Has bless'd the happy Field;
How plenteous is the Golden Store
The Deep-wrought Furrows yield!
6 Father of Mercies, we have need
Of thy preparing Grace;
Let the same Hand that gives the Seed
Provide a Fruitful-Place.
Scripture: Matthew 13:4-9 Languages: English

With all the Dead awake,
Unto Salvation wise,
Oil in your Vessels take:
Upstarting at the Midnight-Cry,
Behold your heav'nly Bridegroom nigh.
2 He comes, he comes, to call
The Nations to his Bar,
And take to Glory all
Who meet for Glory are;
Make ready for your free Reward,
Go forth with Joy to meet your LORD--
3 Go meet him in the Sky,
Your everlasting Friend;
Your Head to glorify,
With all his Saints ascend.
Ye pure in Heart, obtain the Grace
To see, without a Veil, his Face.
4 Ye, that have here receiv'd
The Unction from above,
And in his Spirit liv'd,
And thirsted for his Love;
JESUS shall claim you for his Bride;
Rejoice with all the Sanctify'd.
5 Rejoice, in glorious Hope,
Of that great Day unknown,
When you shall be caught up
To stand before his Throne;
Call'd to partake the Marriage-Feast,
And lean on our Immanuel's Breast.
6 The everlasting Doors
Shall soon the Saint, receive,
Above those Angel-Powers
In glorious Joy to live:
Far from a World of Grief and Sin,
With GOD eternally shut in.
7 Then let us wait to hear
The Trumpet's welcome sound;
To see our LORD appear,
May we be watching found;
With that bless'd Wedding-Robe endu'd,--
The Blood and righteousness of GOD.
Scripture: Matthew 25:6 Languages: English

Deserters, to the Camp return
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXIV (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Deserters, to the Camp return,
Resume your former post,
Bewail your Crimes, your Baseness mourn;
For yet Ye are not lost.

Be humble, and repent;
Mercy you'll find, tho' e'er so base,
The Moment you relent.

How vile so e'er thy be;
Eternal Life's the Gift of God;
And Gifts are always free.
4 'Tis not by Works of Righteousness
Which any Man has done;
But God has sent his Son to bless;
Return, and kiss the Son. Languages: English

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #48 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: liturgical Communion Songs Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to us approacheth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high!" Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Now, My Tongue, the Mystery Telling
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878); Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #50 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: liturgical Communion Songs Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the nations' Lord and King,
once on earth among us dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 That last night, at supper lying,
with the twelve, his chosen band,
Jesus, with the law complying,
keeps the feast its rites demand;
then, more precious food supplying,
gives himself with his own hand.
3 Word made flesh, by word he maketh
very bread his flesh to be,
wine his blood for whoso taketh;
and if senses fail to see,
faith alone the true heart waketh,
to behold the mystery.
4 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere;
types and shadows have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inner vision clear.
5 Glory let us give, and blessing,
to the Father and the Son;
honour, thanks, and praise addressing
while eternal ages run,
and the Spirit's power confessing,
who from both with both is one. Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Languages: English Tune Title: PANGE LINGUA

your presence may we feel;
and thus, inspired with holy fear,
around your table kneel.
2 Here may your faithful people know
the blessings of your love,
the streams that through the desert flow,
the manna from above.
3 We come, obedient to your word,
to feast on heavenly food;
to eat the body of the Lord,
and drink his precious Blood.
4 O living Bread, enduring Vine,
your words we shall obey,
and go, renewed with strength divine,
rejoicing on our way. Scripture: Exodus 33:12-23 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
