Witness, ye men and angels, now
Author: Beddome Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #484 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Admission of Members Lyrics: 1 Witness, ye men and angels, now,
Before the Lord we speak;
To him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we dare not break:
2 That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield;
Nor from his cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:17-18
Witness, ye men and angels, now
Come, let us join our souls to God
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #485 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Admission of Members Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our souls to God
In everlasting bands,
And seize the blessings he bestows,
With eager hearts and hands.
2 Come, let us to his temple haste,
And seek his favor there;
Before his footstool humbly bow,
And pour our fervent prayer.
3 Come, let us seal, without delay,
The covenant of his grace;
Nor shall the years of distant life
Its memory efface.
4 Thus may our rising offspring haste
To seek their fathers' God;
Nor e'er forsake the happy path
Their fathers' feet have trod.
Come, let us join our souls to God
One holy church of God appears
Author: S. Longfellow Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #490 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Constitution Lyrics: 1 One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwafted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
2 From oldest time, on furthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen Presence she adores,
With silence or with psalm.
3 Her priests are all God's faithful sons,
To serve the world raised up;
The pure in heart her baptized ones,
Love her communion cup.
4 The truth is her prophetic gift,
The soul her sacred page;
And feet on mercy's errands swift
Do make her pilgrimage.
5 O living church, thine errand speed;
Fulfill thy task sublime;
With bread of life earth's hunger feed;
Redeem the evil time.
One holy church of God appears
Many centuries have fled
Author: Conder Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #492 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Many centuries have fled
Since our Saviour broke the bread,
And this sacred feast ordained,
Ever by his church retained:
Those his body who discern,
Thus shall meet till his return.
2 Through the church's long eclipse,
When, from priest or pastor's lips,
Truth divine was never heard--
'Mid the famine of the word,
Still these symbols witness gave
To his love who died to save.
3 All who bear the Saviour's name,
Here their common faith proclaim;
Though diverse in tongue and rite,
Here, one body we unite;
Breaking thus one mystic bread,
Members of one common bread.
4 Come, the blessed emblems share,
Which the Saviour's death declare;
Come, on truth immortal feed;
For his flesh is meat indeed:
Saviour! witness with the sign,
That our ransomed souls are thine.
Many centuries have fled
Jesus, Master, hear me now
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #493 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Master, hear me now,
While I would renew my vow,
And record thy dying love;
Hear, and help me from above.
2 Feed me, Saviour, with this bread,
Broken in thy body's stead;
Cheer my spirit with this wine,
Streaming like that blood of thine.
3 And as now I eat and drink,
Let me truly, sweetly think
Thou didst hang upon the tree,
Broken, bleeding, there--for me!
Jesus, Master, hear me now
O bread to pilgrims given
Author: Aquinas Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #495 (1873) Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 O bread to pilgrims given,
O Food that angels eat,
O Manna sent from heaven,
For heaven-born natures meet!
Give us, for thee long pining,
To eat till richly filled;
Till, earth's delights resigning,
Our every wish is stilled!
2 O Water, life-bestowing,
From out the Saviour's heart,
A fountain purely flowing,
A fount of love thou art!
Oh, let us, freely tasting,
Our burning thirst assuage!
Thy sweetness, never wasting,
Avails from age to age.
3 Jesus, this feast receiving,
We thee unseen adore;
Thy faithful word believing,
We take--and doubt no more:
Give us, thou true and loving,
On earth to live in thee;
Then, death the vail removing,
Thy glorious face to see!
Scripture: Matthew 26:26-28
O bread to pilgrims given
Let all who truly bear
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #500 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Let all who truly bear
The bleeding Saviour's name,
Their faithful hearts with us prepare,
And eat the Paschal Lamb.
2 This eucharistic feast
Our every want supplies,
And still we by his death are blest,
And share his sacrifice.
3 Who thus our faith employ,
His suff'rings to record,
E'en now we mournfully enjoy
Communion with our Lord.
4 We too with him are dead,
And shall with him arise;
The cross on which he bows his head
Shall lift us to the skies.
Let all who truly bear
According to thy gracious word
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #501 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper 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 Remember thee, and all thy pains,
And all thy love to me?
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.
4 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Jesus! remember me. Scripture: Matthew 26:26-28
According to thy gracious word
Be known to us in breaking bread
Author: Ryle Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #502 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Thy table in our heart.
2 Then sup with us, in love divine;
Thy body and thy blood,
That living bread and heavenly wine
Be our immortal food. Scripture: Isaiah 30:27
Be known to us in breaking bread
Blessed angels, high in heaven
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #503 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Blessed angels, high in heaven,
O'er the penitent rejoice;
Hast thou for thy brother striven
With an importuning voice?
2 Art thou not thy brother's keeper?
Canst thou not his soul obtain?
He that wakes his brother sleeper,
Double light himself shall gain.
3 Then, when ends this life's short fever,
They, who many turn to God,
Like the stars shall shine for ever,
In eternal brotherhood!
Blessed angels, high in heaven
