Hymns for Second Advent Believers 136

LORD'S SUPPER

1COMING, Saviour, now in faith,
We remember still thy death,
Thou wast broken—thou hast died,
For us thou wast crucified.

2While in faith we drink the wine,
Of thy blood we see the sign,
Wash us pure from every stain,
Thou that comest soon to reign.

3Lord, we thus remember thee;
But we long thy face to see—
Long to reach our heav'nly home,
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!

4Quickly, thou thyself wilt come,
Thou wilt raise us to thy throne
And thy glories here display
To a never ending day.
