Hymn 3:2.
Communion with Christ, and with saints,
1 Cor. 10. 16 17.
1 [Jesus invites his saints
To meet around his board;
Here pardon'd rebels sit, and hold
Communion with their Lord.
2 For food he gives his flesh,
He bids us drink his blood,
Amazing favour! matchless grace
Of our descending God!]
3 This holy bread and wine
Maintains our fainting breath,
By union with our living Lord,
And interest in his death.
4 Our heavenly Father calls
Christ and his members one;
We the young children of his love,
And he the first-born Son.
5 We are but several parts
Of the same broken bread;
One body hath its several limbs,
But Jesus is the head.
6 Let all our powers be join'd
His glorious Name to raise;
Pleasure and love fill every mind,
And every voice be praise.
Hymn 3:3.
The new testament in the blood of
Christ; or, The new covenant sealed.
1 "The promise of my Father's love
"Shall stand for ever good;"
He said, and gave his soul to death,
And seal'd the grace with blood.
2 To this dear covenant of thy word
I set my worthless name;
I seal th' engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.
