HYMN 79.

My God, and is Thy table spread,
And doth Thy cup with love o'erflow?
Thither be all Thy children led,
And let them all Thy sweetness know.

Hail! sacred feast, which Jesus makes,
Rich banquet of His flesh and blood!
Thrice happy he who here partakes
That sacred stream, that heav'nly food.

Oh! let Thy table honour'd be,
And furnish'd well with joyful guests!
And may each sou) salvation see,
That here its sacred pledges tastes.

Revive Thy dying Churches, Lord,
Bid all our drooping graces live;
And more, that energy afford,
A Saviour's blood alone can give.
