HYMN 149.

A Hymn of Praise after the Lord's Supper.

The Banqueting-House.

Halleluja let us sing aloud,
Salvation, Glory, Fame,
Be given to the Lord our God,
O glorifie his Name,
Who loved us, and sent his Son
For our eternal good,
To wash away our scarlet sins
In his most precious Blood.
Into the House of Banqueting
He brings us to be fed,
Love is the Banner flourishing
VVith honour o're our head.
Beneath his shadow we are plac'd
VVith joy and true content;
His Fruit is sweet unto our taste,
His VVord and Sacrament.
O draw me my dear Saviour then
VVith thy strong Cords of Love,
And we will all run after thee
As fast as we can move:
And in thy Name, O Lord, we'll trust,
For that's a Tower strong,
Whither the Righteous oft doth fly
For shelter all day long.
