HYMN 23. (C. M.) Grace and Glory by the Death of Christ.

I

Sitting around our father's board
We raise our tuneful breath;
Our faith beholds her dying Lord,
And dooms our sins to death.

II

We see the blood of Jesus shed,
Whence all our pardons rise;
The sinner views the atonement made,
And loves the sacrifice.

III

Thy cruel thorns, thy shameful cross
Procure us heavenly crowns;
Our highest gain springs from thy loss,
Our healing from thy wounds.

IV

O 'tis impossible that we,
Who dwell in feeble clay,
Should equal sufferings bear for thee,
Or equal thanks repay.
