516. "In remembrance"

1 While in sweet communion feeding
On this earthly bread and wine,
Saviour, may we see thee bleeding
On the cross, to make us thine.

2 Though unseen, now be thou near us,
With the still small voice of love;
Whispering words of peace to cheer us--
Every doubt and fear remove.

3 Bring before us all the story,
Of thy life, and death of woe;
And, with hope of endless glory,
Wean our hearts from all below.
