According to Thy Gracious Word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 549 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word, in meek humility this will I do, my loving Lord: I will remember thee. 2 Thy body, given for my sake, my bread from heaven shall be; thy testamental cup I take, and thus remember thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget, or there thy conflict see, thine agony and bloody sweat, and not remember thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes and rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee. 5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, and mind and memory flee, when thou shalt in thy kingdom come, then, Lord, remember me.

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.

It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone. 5 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. 6 Too soon we rise; the vessels 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. 7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love.

"Till He Come"!

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 First Line: "Till he come"! O let the words Lyrics: 1 "Till he come!" O let the words linger on the trembling chords; let the little while between in their golden light be seen; let us think how heav'n and home lie beyond that "Till he come." 2 When the weary ones we love enter on their rest above, seems the earth so poor and vast, all our life-joy overcast? Hush, be ev'ry murmur dumb: it is only till he come. 3 Clouds and conflicts round us press: would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, all that tells the world is loss, death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper "Till he come." 4 See, the feast of love is spread, drink the wine, and break the bread: sweet memorials, till the Lord call us round his heav'nly board; some from earth, from glory some, severed only till he come.

Hymn 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 367 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23 First Line: 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night Lyrics: 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betrayed him to his foes: Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake: What love through all his actions ran! What wondrous words of grace he spake! "This is my body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup, and blessed the wine; "'Tis the new cov'nant in my blood." [For us his flesh with nails was torn, He bore the scourge, he felt the thorn; And justice poured upon his head Its heavy vengeance in our stead. For us his vital blood was spilt, To buy the pardon of our guilt, When, for black crimes of biggest size, He gave his soul a sacrifice.] "Do this," he cried, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend; Meet at my table, and record The love of your departed Lord." [Jesus, thy feast we celebrate, We show thy death, we sing thy name, Till thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.]
