Join all the glorious names

Thy scepter and Thy sword, Thy reign of grace, I sing; Thine is the power; behold, I sit In willing bonds before Thy feet. Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth, At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven, For us on the cross to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness, And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we drink now; grant that never We forget Thy love, dear Saviour! 7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Amen. Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE
