HYMN 2. (S. M.) Communion with Christ, and with Saints, 1 Cor. x. 16, 17.
I
Jesus invites his saintsTo meet around his board;
Here pardon'd rebels sit, and hold
Communion with their Lord.
II
For food he gives his flesh,He bids us drink his blood;
Amazing favour! matchless grace
Of our descending God!
III
This holy bread and wineMaintains our fainting breath,
By union with our living Lord,
And interest in his death.
IV
Our heavenly Father callsChrist and his members one;
We the young children of his love,
And he the first-born Son.
V
We are but several partsOf the same broken bread;
One body hath its several limbs,
But Jesus is the head.

VI
Let all our powers be join'dHis glorious name to raise;
Pleasure and love fill every mind,
And every voice be praise.
