Excerpt: ... us drink, and, on life's fulness fed, With heavenly joy each quickening pulse shall bound. 3 "The hour is come!" with us in peace sit down; Thine own Beloved, O love us to the end; Serve us one banquet, ere the night's dark frown Veil from our sight the presence of our Friend. 4 Girded with love, still wash Thy servants' feet, While they, submissive, wonder and adore; Bathed in Thy blood, our spirits every whit Are clean--yet cleanse our goings more and more. 5 Some will betray Thee--" Master, is it I?"--Leaning upon Thy love, we ask in fear--Ourselves mistrusting, earnestly we cry To Thee, the Strong, for strength when sin is near. 6 But round us fall the evening shadows dim; A saddened awe pervades our darkening sense; In solemn choir we sing the parting hymn, And hear Thy voice--"Arise, let us go hence." "Ye do shew the Lords death till He come."--1 Cor. xl 26. Clifton, 432. 888.4. a. Rawson T/Q T3Y Christ redeemed, in Christ re-IOO D,3, We keep the memory adored, And shew the death of our dear Lord Until He come I 2 His body, broken in our stead, Is here, in this memorial bread;--And so our feeble love is fed Until He come! 3 His fearful drops of agony, His life-blood shed for us, we see:--The wine shall tell the mystery, Until He come! 4 And thus that dark betrayal night With the last advent, we unite, By one bright chain of loving rite, Until He come! 5 Until the trump of God be heard, Until the ancient graves be stirred; And, with the great commanding word,' The Lord shall come! 6 O blessed hope! with this elate Let not our hearts be desolate, But, strong in faith and patience, wait Until He come! "The word is nigh thee: even in thy mouth and in thy heart.". Bom. x. 8. Uelanchlhon, 304....
