COMMUNION.

We now approach with holy joy,
The table of our Lord;
Here we find peace without alloy,
And feast upon His word.
We meditate upon His love,
That love to sinners given,
For which He left a home above,
To show the way to Heaven.
We think upon His wondrous plan,
To save a ruined race;
By which He rescues fallen man—
Redeems them by His grace.
We sit and feast upon our Lord,
And sweetest comfort find,—
His broken body and His blood
Shed freely for mankind.
May all who thus on Jesus feed,
Walk humbly in His way,
And faithfully their steps he'll lead,
To realms of endless day.
