Communion with Christ and with Saints. 1 Cor. 10. 16, 17
1
Jesus invites his saints
 
To meet around his board;
 
Here pardoned rebels sit, and hold
 
Communion with their Lord.
2
[For food he gives his flesh;
 
He bids us drink his blood;
 
Amazing favour, matchless grace
 
Of our descending God!]
3
By faith, the bread and wine
 
Maintain our fainting breath,
 
By union with our living Lord,
 
And interest in his death.
4
Our heavenly Father calls
 
Christ and his members one;
 
We the young children of his love,
 
And he the first-born Son.
5
We are but several parts
 
Of the same broken bread;
 
One body has its several limbs,
 
But Jesus is the Head.
6
Let all our powers be joined
 
His gracious name to raise;
 
Pleasure and love fill every mind,
 
And every voice be praise.
