 And cheriſh that endearing love, In which the ſaints are bleſs'd above!

HE mem'ry of Chriſt's death is ſweet, When Saints around his table meet, And break the bread and pour the wine, Obedient to his word divine.

As they the bread and cup receive, So while on Chriſt their ſouls believe, They eat his fleſh, they drink his blood: Cordial divine, and heavenly food! Their cov'nant thus with God renew, And love to ev'ry Chriſtien ſhew.

Well may their ſouls rejoice and thrive: Oh! may the bleſſed hour arrive; When ripe in knowledge, and in grace, I at thy board may find a place! And now what there his people do I would at humble diſtance view; Would look to Chriſt with grateful heart. And in their pleaſures take my part; Reſolv'd, while ſuch a light I ſee, To live to him who dy'd for me.

Y ſoul, the heav'nly world ſurvey, The regions of eternal day.
