The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but thou art here, nearer than ever, still our shield and sun. 5 We have no help but thine, nor do we need another arm but thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; our strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood. Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace, thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God. 7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love.
