The Memorial of our Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #524 (1888) First Line: Jesus is gone above the skies Lyrics: 1 Jesus is gone above the skies, Where our weak senses reach him not; And carnal objects court our eyes, To thrust our Saviour from our thought. 2 He knows what wandering hearts we have, Apt to forget his lovely face; And, to refresh our minds, he gave These kind memorials of his grace. 3 Let sinful sweets be all forgot, And earth grow less in our esteem; Christ and his love fill every thought; And faith and hope be fixed on him. 4 While he is absent from our sight, 'Tis to prepare our souls a place, That we may dwell in heavenly light, And live for ever near his face.

"Eat, O friends!"

Author: Aaron R. Wolfe Hymnal: Laudes Domini #525 (1888) First Line: Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near Lyrics: 1 Draw near, O Holy Dove, draw near, With peace and gladness on thy wing; Reveal the Saviour's presence here, And light, and life, and comfort bring. 2 "Eat, O my friends--drink, O beloved!" We hear the Master's voice exclaim: Our hearts with new desire are moved, And kindled with a heavenly flame. 3 No room for doubt, no room for dread, Nor tears, nor groans, nor anxious sighs; We do not mourn a Saviour dead, But hail him living in the skies! 4 While this we do, remembering thee, Dear Saviour, let our graces prove, We have thy blessed company, Thy banner over us is love.
