O the Depth of Love Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O the depth of love divine, th'unfathomable grace Lyrics: 1. O the depth of love divine, th’unfathomable grace!
Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys!
How the bread His flesh imparts, how the wine transmits His blood,
Fills His faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God!
2. Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive;
Feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give.
Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came?
These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same.
3. How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed,
Drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread?
Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ who did the means ordain;
Angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain.
4. Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown;
Only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one.
Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more.
Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore. Used With Tune: BARNABAS Text Sources: Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 1745, number 57
O the Depth of Love Divine
Jesus, Master of the Feast
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Master of the Feast,
The Feast itself Thou art!
Now receive Thy every guest,
And comfort every heart!
Give us living Bread to eat,
Manna that from heaven comes down;
See us waiting at Thy feet,
And make Thy favor known.
2 In this earthly wilderness
Thou hast a table spread,
Richly filled with every grace
Our fainting souls can need:
Still sustain us by Thy Love,
Still Thy servants' strength repair
Till we reach Thy courts above,
And feast for ever there. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: ST. BARNABAS
