CHRISTIAN COMMUNION.
How sweet with Christian friends to kneel,
And pour our souls in prayer!
And holy is the joy we feel
To meet our Saviour there.
And pour our souls in prayer!
And holy is the joy we feel
To meet our Saviour there.
There grace divine in peace descends,
And spreads its blessing round;
Where the true righteous meekly bend
Is heav'nly manna found.

Sweetly refreshing 'tis to meet
With those who love the Lord;
Who love to sit at Jesus' feet,
And praise his gracious word.

Holy communion! dearer far
Than joys that earth bestows;
Thou art life's holy radiant star;
From thee sweet comfort flows.

Strength for the hour of need is given;
Grace, peace, and joy, and love;
The hope of friendship too in heaven,
Our mutual home above.
