713. The Lord's Supper. (C. M.) 1 WHEN Christ our Lord a table spreads, And heav'nly food prepares; Shall we, unmindful of his love, 2 Let vain pursuits, and vain desires, 3 He knew how frail our nature is, How much we need his gracious help, 4 For these kind pledges of his love, To bring refreshment to our souls, 5 Since such his condescending grace, Obedient to his holy will, His table now draw near. 6 And while we join to celebrate May we receive new strength and pow'r, 714.
