235. Thine Own, O Loving Saviour

1 Thine own, O loving Saviour,
Thou biddest come to Thee,
Thy passion's fruits, Thy favor,
Thy grace, Thou givest free
To them who by Thy grace and love
Are members of Thy kingdom,
Now here, and then above.

2 To us on earth still dwelling
Thou dost descend to give,
In love all love excelling,
Thyself that we may live,
And sayest, ever kind and good:
"Take, eat, this is My body,
Take, drink, this is My blood."

3 We hear Thine invitation;
We hear, O Lord, Thy call,
The word of consolation,
It is for us, for all;
It draws us to Thy loving heart,
It brings to us Thy blessing,
It does Thy peace impart.

4 Thy heart is in all anguish
A refuge to the poor,
Thy heart for us did languish,
And bitter death endure.
Thy heart, yet filled with peace and rest,
With comfort and salvation
Draws near to every breast.

5 Thou still in loving favor
To us, thine own, art near,
To lead us as our Saviour
Unto a Father dear,
A Father willing to forgive
The children Thou didst ransom,
Those who through Thee shall live.

6 We are Thine own forever;
Until our latest breath
Will we be true, and never
In joy, in grief, in death,
Depart from Thee, for Thou always
Art present with Thy people,
As Thine own promise says.

Amen.
