Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #259 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; This is the heavenly table spread for me; Here let me feast, and feasting still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with Thee. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here, Nearer than ever; still my Shield and Sun. 5 I have no help but Thine; nor do I need Another arm save Thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Come all who truly bear

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #260 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 Come, all who truly bear The name of Christ your Lord, His last mysterious supper share, And keep His kindest word. 2 Hereby your faith approve In Jesus crucified; "In memory of My dying love, Do this," He said, and died. 3 Then let us still profess Our Master's honoured name; Stand forth His faithful witnesses, True followers of the Lamb. 4 In proof that such we are, His saying we receive, And thus to all mankind declare We do in Christ believe. 5 Who thus our faith employ, His sufferings to record, Even now we mournfully enjoy Communion with our Lord. 6 We too with Him are dead, And shall with Him arise; The cross on which He bows His head Shall lift us to the skies.

O Holy Father, who in tender love

The Saviour, when to heaven He rose

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #266 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 The Saviour, when to heaven He rose, In splendid triumph o'er His foes, Scattered His gifts on men below, And wide His royal bounties flow. 2 Hence sprung the Apostles' honoured name; Sacred beyond heroic fame; In lowlier forms before our eyes, Pastors from hence, and teachers rise. 3 From Christ their varied gifts derive, And fed by Christ their graces live; While guarded by His mighty hand, Midst all the rage of hell they stand. 4 So shall the bright succession run Through the last courses of the sun; While unborn churches by their care, Shall rise and flourish large and fair. 5 Jesus, now teach our hearts to know The spring whence all these blessings flow; Pastors and people shout Thy praise Through the long round of endless days.

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #267 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill; Who bring salvation in their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How cheering is their voice, How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How blessed are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God.

And fill their souls with light, Clothe them in spotless raiment, In linen clean and white; Beside Thy sacred altar Be with them where they stand, To sanctify Thy people Through all this happy land.

While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Author: J. Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #270 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun Hasted through the circling year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little--none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view; Bless Thy word to young and old; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Him above.
