HYMN 86. —My beloved is mine. Sung at the Receiving of the Lord's-Supper.

1

O blessed Day when we can say,
Lord Jesus thou art mine!
O Blessed Day when we can say,
Lord Jesus I am thine!

2

Christ he is ours by Deed of Gift,
and that's a Title good;
And Saints are his by Purchase Right,
he Bought them with his Blood.

3

Say then, I'll have no Love but he,
I like my Choice so well;
And for his Spouse he will have Me,
together let us Dwell.

4

He feeds among the Lillies White,
there he doth most frequent;
Amongst his Saints is his delight,
to smell their fragrant Scent.

5

Their Graces are his sweet Repast,
their Prayers and Praises are
A Banquet to him and their Faith,
is his delicious Fare.

6

O Let but Me and this Church be,
a garden of delight;
To thee Lord, and with one accord,
we'll Praise thee Day and Night.
