Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest

Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest; nay, let us be thy guests; the feast is thine; thyself at thine own board make manifest, in thine own sacrament of bread and wine. 2 We meet as in that upper room they met; thou at the table, blessing, yet dost stand: 'This is my body': so thou givest yet; faith still receives the cup as from thy hand. 3 One body we, one body who partake, one church united in communion blessed; one name we bear, one bread of life we break, with all thy saints on earth and saints at rest. 4 One with each other, Lord, for one in thee, who art one Saviour and one living Head; then open thou our eyes, that we may see; be known to us in breaking of the bread.

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 315 hymnals Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Eucharist (Holy Communion or The Lord's Supper) First Line: Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face 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 eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean. 2. 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 hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. 3. 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. 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. Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Come into the daylight’s splendor; there with joy thy praises render unto Christ, whose grace unbounded hath this wondrous banquet founded. High o’er all the heavens he reigneth, yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. 2 Sun, who all my life dost brighten; Light, who dost my soul enlighten; Joy, the best that any 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. 3 Jesus, bread of life, I pray thee, let me gladly here obey thee; never to my hurt invited, be thy love with love requited. From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts thou here dost give me, as thy guest in heaven receive me.

Author: James Montgomery, 1771 - 1854 Appears in 549 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. 2 Thy Body, broken 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? A-men. 4 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice, I must remember thee! 5 Remember thee, and all thy pains, And all thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me. Amen. Used With Tune: DUNDEE (FRENCH)
