[The meaning of Thy meat and drink]
“Where two or three are met together, there am I in the
midst of you.”
The meaning of Thy meat and drink,
Lord, is for me too high;
And so much more than I can think,
As Thon art more than I.
Lord, is for me too high;
And so much more than I can think,
As Thon art more than I.
But for remembrance, and for hope,
In faith that cannot see,
I, raised above life's narrow scope,
Reach forth my prayer for Thee.
In faith that cannot see,
I, raised above life's narrow scope,
Reach forth my prayer for Thee.
Bless me, and for Thy blessèd sake,
From love's un'minish'd store,
Whatever I have learn'd to take,
Lord Jesus, give me more.
From love's un'minish'd store,
Whatever I have learn'd to take,
Lord Jesus, give me more.
I come to meet Thee, Thou art here,
Standing among Thine own;
For “two or three” that hold Thee dear
Have drawn Thee, Saviour, down.
Standing among Thine own;
For “two or three” that hold Thee dear
Have drawn Thee, Saviour, down.
I come, my nothing I confess,
Thy all I cannot know;
But till Thou to the utmost bless
I will not let Thee go.
Thy all I cannot know;
But till Thou to the utmost bless
I will not let Thee go.
