1 Corinthians 11:25-27

• [1Co 11:26] A Parting Hymn We Sing

  A parting hymn we sing Around Thy table, Lord, Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record. Here have we seen Thy face, And felt Thy presence here; So may the savor of Thy grace, In word and life appear. The purchase of Thy blood, By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread. In self forgetting love Be our communion shown, Until we join the Church above, And know as we are known.

• [1Co 11:26] Invited Lord, By Boundless Grace

  Invited, Lord, by boundless grace, I stand a guest before Thy face; As Host Thou spreadst no common food: Here is Thy body and Thy blood. How holy is this sacrament Where pardon, peace, and life are spent! This bread and cup my lips have pressed; Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed. Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart With full assurance in his heart. For such communion, Lord, with Thee A new life may my off’ring be. When Thou shalt in Thy glory come To gather all Thy people home, Then let me, as Thy heav’nly guest, In anthems praise Thee with the blest.

• [1Co 11:27] Hail, Body True

  Hail, Body true, of Mary born, and in the manger laid, That once with thorn and scourging torn wast on the cross displayed, That every eye might there descry th’uplifted Sacrifice, Which once for all to God on high paid our redemption’s price! Hail, precious Blood, by true descent drawn from our own first sire, Yet innocent of that fell taint which fills our veins with fire, Once from the side of Him that died for love of us His kin, Drained an atonement to provide and wash away our sin! Still Thou art here amidst us, Lord, unchangeably the same; When at Thy board with one accord Thy promises we claim; But lo! the way Thou com’st today is one where bread and wine Conceal the Presence they convey, both human and divine. How glorious is that Body now, throned on the throne of Heav’n! The angels bow, and marvel how to us on earth ’tis given; Oh, to discern what splendors burn within these veils of His— That faith could into vision turn, and see Him as He is! How mighty is the Blood that ran for sinful nature’s needs! It broke the ban, it rescued man; it lives, and speaks, and pleads; And all who sup from this blest Cup in faith and hope and love, Shall prove that death is swallowed up in richer life above.
