I 2 307. GOD, unseen yet ever near, And, thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, 4 Thus may we all Thy words obey, Renewed with strength divine. 5* To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, I Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen. 308. IN the Name of God the Father, One in Three, and Three in One, E. Osle 2 Crying-Holy, Holy, Holy, Here, in figure represented, See the Passion once again; See, for our refreshment spread. 3 Here shall highest praise be offered, Here shall meekest prayer be poured, Here with body, soul, and spirit, I God Incarnate be adored. Holy Jesu! for Thy coming May Thy love our hearts prepare ; 309. Jesu, Dulcedo cordium. J. W. Hewett. JESUS, thou Joy of loving hearts! Thou Fount of life! Thou Light of men! From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; 3 We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright, Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light! Amen. From St. Bernard. R. Palmer. (tr.) 310. 1 BREAD of heaven, on Thee we feed, 2 For Thy Flesh is meat indeed; With this true and Living Bread; Vine of heaven, Thy Blood supplies Lord, Thy wounds our healing give; Grafted, rooted, built in Thee. Amen. J. Conder I 2 3 4 311. GLAD sight! the holy Church Begotten at the font By God the Spirit's power, A gentle lamb from Satan snatched E'en now around the font, Unseen by mortal eye, Bright ministering Angels watch The wondrous mystery. There to receive their charge In readiness they stand, And long to guide its feeble steps Who did redeem our race; Praise Him who doth us sanctify With pure baptismal grace. Amen. I 312. LORD! may the inward grace abound Of covenant blessings more divine ; 2 Type of the Spirit's living flow, In faith we pour the hallowed stream; The solemn pledge of truth to Him, 3 Baptized into the Trinity, I 2 Adopted children of Thy grace, A humble, pure, and faithful race : And crown with heavenly life our end. Amen. 313. SAVIOUR, who Thy flock art feeding With the Shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share; Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; |
