Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire! To sanctify us while we sing. Rich in thy sev’nfold energy; And practise all that we believe. 4 Immortal honour, endless fame, Attend th' Almighty Father's name: Trinity Sunday. 1 FATHER of heav'n! whose love profound T A ransom for our souls hath found; Before thy throne we sinners bend; To us thy pard’ning love extend. 2 Almighty Son! Incarnate Word! Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord ! 3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath The soul is rais'd from sin and death; To us thy quick’ning power extend. 4 Jehovah ! Father, Spirit, Son! Mysterious Godhead! three in one! Before thy throne we sinners bend; Grace, pardon, life to us extend. 115. - HYMN XXII. L. M. Sacramental. And doth thy cup with love o'erflow? And let them all thy goodness know. 2 Hail, sacred feast! which Jesus makes ; Rich banquet of his flesh and blood ! That sacred stream, that heav'nly food. 3 O let thy table honour'd be, And furnish'd well with joyful guests; May every soul salvation see, Who here its sacred pledges tastes. 4 Let crowds approach with hearts sincere, And round thy lowly altar bend: * M 2 5 Revive thy dying churches, Lord, i Bid all our drooping graces live; . More of that energy afford, A Saviour's blood alone can give. 116. HYMN XXIII. C. M. Sacramental. 1 THIS is the feast of heav'nly wine, 1 And God invites to sup; . The juices of the living vine Were press'd to fill the cup. With royal dainties fed : For Jesus is the bread. Ye trembling souls appear ! Have no acceptance here. The banquet spread for you; Then I may venture too. And may obtain a place, And I shall see his face. 4 117. HYMN XXIV. · (6.8.). · Sacramental. 1 NORTH from the dark and storiny sky, I Lord! to thine altar's shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Saviour! we seek thy shelter here : : Weary and weak, thy grace we pray: Turn not, O Lord, thy guests away.. Long have we sought thy rest in vain Sacramental. 1 THE rock is cleft! with faith draw near; 1 The rock is cleft! ye sinners hear; A fountain issues from the wound, And mercy's streams are gushing round. 2 Draw near with faith, why linger thus ? The table's spread, and spread for us : For sinners spread, who seek for rest. 3 For pilgrims in a thirsty land, The waters flow at Christ's command. 4 Are any poor? the price is paid : Are any weak ? oh! why afraid ? There's hope, and love, and pardon too. 5 All things are ready; Lord, we come, And round thy table seek our home: Thy word our hope, thy grace our food, Our life and seal, thy living blood. Rev. J. Punnett. 119. HYMN XXVI. L. M. For a due Improvement of the Sabbath. i THIS is the day the Lord hath blessid, 1 The day to us in mercy given: The holy sabbath of his rest, : The pledge and type of rest in heaven. 2 This day within thy courts, O Lord, Thy saints delight to seek thy face, · Unfold their wants, implore thy grace. 3 May we the blest assembly join; To God devote the sacred day; Look up to heav'n, and learn the way. 4 May we by ev'ry sabbath grow In grace, humility, and love: Made fitter for thy rest above. |
