Thou Light of men! From fullest bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood, Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good, To them that find Thee, all in all. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast, Glad, that Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light. Amen.

At His table humbly fall, There receive the food fro heaven For thy faith's sustention given. 4 Lord and Saviour, keep and guide me By Thy gospel light, I pray, That the world by her seductions Draw me not from Thee away.

Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #246 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the day-light's splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o'er all the earth He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3 He who costly goods desireth To obtain, much gold requireth; But to freely give the treasure Of Thy love is Thy good pleasure, For on earth there is no coffer Which as payment we might offer For this cup Thy blood containing, And this manna on us raining. 4 Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er 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. 6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven, For us on the cross to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness, And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we drink now; grant that never We forget Thy love, dear Saviour! 7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

O Jesus Christ, Thou Bread of Life

Author: Johann Rist Hymnal: HOoS1926 #249 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, thou Bread of Life, To sinners freely given Who of their evil ways repent, Cast out all earthly leaven, And graciously my heart prepare The Holy Supper now to share, With Thee in blest communion. 2 Deign to Thine altar, blessed Lord, By Thine own hand to lead me, There to renew Thy covenant, And with Thy gifts to feed me; O give me, in Thy flesh and blood, To taste and see that Thou are good; My soul refresh and quicken. 3 O give me strength to walk with Thee, And grace Thy steps to follow, Thus to fulfill the last of God, To Him my service hallow. Bless now Thy sacramental guest, Take Thine abode within my breast, And nevermore forsake me. 4 Cleanse me of all iniquity, Renew my heart within me; My soul so fully occupy That evil shall not win me. As Thou didst suffer on the cross, So teach Thy child to suffer loss, Through faith in Thee, my Saviour. 5 Thy grace, O God, I merit less Than strips of Thy chastising; In all my sins and dire distress I yet were agonizing, Save for the willing sacrifice Of Christ, who bought us with a price, And earned our full salvation. 6 Sore stricken, unto Thee I come, For grace and succor pleading, Mine eyes are blind; to Thee I turn For light and gentle leading. Whene'er I stumble, raise me up; When faint and famished, from Thy cup, Lord, tender me Thy healing! 7 Come, Saviour dear, with me abide, Thy love in me upwelling; O Holy Spirit, be my Guide, And make my heart Thy dwelling. In all my griefs my comfort be, Grant me that unity with Thee Which life nor death can sever. 8 Before Thy sacred table, Lord, My prayers grow faint and falter; Now make me worthy to partake The bounties of Thine altar. If one with Thee Thou make me there. I know that also I shall share With Thee the joy of heaven. Amen.

Thy sacred table now Is spread with gifts most blessed. Within that holy cup Is healing for my soul; Thou art the Bread of Life, Broken to make me whole. 2 The burden of my sins Hast Thou in mercy taken; Thou touchest but my heart, And Christian graces waken. The feeble flame of faith Is quickened by Thy grace; My soul to peace restored, With Thee at hand to bless. 3 My Austere, Lord, Thou art, The Fount of every blessing; If Thou be in my heart, All else am I possessing. Be and abide with me, A constant Eucharist, Then death to me is life With Thee, O Jesus Christ. Amen.
