My God, and Is Thy Table Spread

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:7-20 Lyrics: 1 My God, and is Thy table spread, And does Thy cup with love o'erflow? Thither be all thy children led, And let them all Thy sweetness know. 2 Hail! sacred Feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of His flesh and blood: Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food. 3 O let Thy table honored be, And furnished well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see, That here its holy pledges tastes. 4 Drawn by Thy quickening grace, O Lord, In countless numbers let them come, And gather from their Father's board The bread that lives beyond the tomb. Amen. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD

My God, I love thee; not because

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:44 Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, nor yet because who love thee not are lost eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me upon the cross embrace; for me didst bear the nails and spear, and manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, and sweat of agony; yea, death itself — and all for me who was thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ, should I not love thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, nor of escaping hell; 5 Not from the hope of gaining aught, not seeking a reward; but as thyself hast lovèd me, O ever-loving Lord. 6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord, and in thy praise will sing; solely because thou art my God, and my most loving King.

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!

Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:47-71, 23:1-48 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Surpassing thought and fantasy that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 For us baptized, for us he bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 3 For us he prayed, for us he taught, for us the lost with love he sought, by words, and signs, and actions, he brought health and hope to set us free. 4 For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 5 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 6 To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.

I Come with Joy

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:14-20 First Line: I come with joy to meet my Lord Lyrics: 1 I come with joy to meet my Lord, forgiven, loved and free, in awe and wonder to recall his life laid down for me, his life laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ’s communion bread, in Christ's communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord. His presence, always near, is in such friendship better known, we see and praise him here, we see and praise him here. 5 Together met, together bound we'll go our different ways, and as his people in the world, we'll live and speak his praise, we'll live and speak his praise.
