1. MANY centuries have fled Since our Saviour broke the bread, 2. Through the church's long eclipse, 3. All who bear the Saviour's name, 4. Come, the blessed emblems share, 920. Ss & 7s.* CONDER. 1. ON the night of that last supper, Seated with His chosen band, Christ, as food to all His brethren, Gives Himself with His own hand. 2. He, as man with man conversing, Staid the seeds of truth to sow; * Qmit repeat. Then He closed, in solemn order, 4. To the everlasting Father, Through the Son who reigns on high, 921. C. M.** BREVIARY. 1. How condescending and how kind Our misery reached His heavenly mind, 2. He sunk beneath our heavy woes, 3. This was compassion, like a God, 4. Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well He remembers Calvary, 5. Here let our hearts begin to melt, And, with our joy for pardoned guilt, Sung to Dundee. WATTS. EUCHARIST. L. M. From the Dulcimer. 1. O, happy day that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour, 922. L.M. 2. O, happy bond that seals my vows 3. T is done the great transaction 's done; Charmed to confess the voice divine. 4. Now rest, my long-divided heart! Fixed on this blissful centre, rest; Till, in life's latest hour, I bow, 923. L. M. DODDRIDGE. 1. JESUS, the sinner's Friend, to Thee, 2. Pity and save my sin-sick soul, 924. L. M. 1. THIS child we dedicate to Thee, Shield it from sin and threatening wrong, 2. O may Thy Spirit gently draw WEST BOSTON COLL. 925. H. M. 1. DEAR Saviour, if these lambs should stray O let them ne'er forgotten be; Which made them consecrate to Thee. 4. And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly's way; The wand'rers to Thy fold restore. 1. By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, 2. Lo! such the child, whose early feet Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, 3. By cool Siloam's shady rill The rose, that blooms beneath the hill, 4. And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, 5. O Thou, who givest life and breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, 927. C. M. HEBER. 1. O SAY not, think not, heavenly notes 2. Was not our Lord, a little child, 3. And though some tones be weak and low, What are all prayers beneath, But cries of babes, that can not know Half the deep thought they breathe? 4. In His own words we Christ adore; But angels, as we speak, Higher above our meaning soar, Than we o'er children weak. 928. C. M. KEBLE. 1. SEE Israel's gentle Shepherd stand, 2. "Permit them to approach," he cries, It was to bless such souls as these 3. We bring them, Lord, in thankful bands, And yield them up to Thee; Joyful that we ourselves are Thine, DODDRIDGE. 1. DEAR Saviour, we are Thine By everlasting bands; Our hearts, our souls, we would resign Entirely to Thy hands. 2. To Thee we still would cleave With ever-growing zeal; If millions tempt us Christ to leave, 3. Thy Spirit shall unite Our souls to Thee, our Head; Shall form us to Thy image bright, And teach Thy paths to tread. 4. Death may our souls divide From these abodes of clay: 5. Since Christ and we are one, Why should we doubt or fear? If He in heaven hath fixed His throne, He'll fix His members there. 930. S. M. DODDRIDGE. 1. JESUS, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know Thou hear'st my prayer. 2. Give me on Thee to wait, 3. I want a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down, and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill; 4. A soul inured to pain, To hardship, grief, and loss, Bold to take up, firm to sustain 5. I want a godly fear, A quick-discerning eye, That looks to Thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly; 6. A spirit still prepared, And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 1. And Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto | me; For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 2. He shall feed His | flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm and carry them | in His | bosom. 3. I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing up- on thine | offspring; And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the wa-ter | 4. Go courses. ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the | Holy | Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things what soever I have commanded you, and lo! I am with you always | even unto the | end of the world. Amen. 5. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, I world without | end. Amen. 933. S. M. 1. To Him who children blest, And suffered them to come, To Him who took them to His breast, We bring these | children | home. 2. To Thee, O God, whose face Their spirits | still be- | hold, 1. LITTLE travelers, Zionward, In the mansions of the blest; 2. Who are they whose little feet, Pacing life's dark journey through, Now have reach'd that heavenly seat, They had ever | kept in | view? "I, from Greenland's frozen land;" "I, from India's sultry plain;" "I, from Afric's barren sand;" · 1, from | islands | of the | main." 3. "All our earthly journey past, Every tear and pain gone by, Here together met at last, At the portal of the sky! Let the little travelers | in! EDMESTON. |
