HYMN C.
[Returning to His throne above]
Returning to His throne above,
The Friend of sinners cried,
Do this in memory of My love:
He spoke the word, and died.
The Friend of sinners cried,
Do this in memory of My love:
He spoke the word, and died.
He tasted death for every one:
The Saviour of mankind
Out of our sight to heaven is gone,
But left His pledge behind.
The Saviour of mankind
Out of our sight to heaven is gone,
But left His pledge behind.
290
His sacramental pledge we take,
Nor will we let it go;
Till in the clouds our Lord comes back,
We thus His death will show.
Nor will we let it go;
Till in the clouds our Lord comes back,
We thus His death will show.
Come quickly, Lord, for whom we mourn,
And comfort all that grieve;
Prepare the bride, and then return,
And to Thyself receive.
And comfort all that grieve;
Prepare the bride, and then return,
And to Thyself receive.
Now to Thy glorious kingdom come;
(Thou hast a token given;)
And while Thy arms receive us home,
Recall Thy pledge in heaven.
(Thou hast a token given;)
And while Thy arms receive us home,
Recall Thy pledge in heaven.
