Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-77; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #311 (1993) Lyrics: 1 Soul, adorn yourself with gladness; Leave behind all gloom and sadness. Come into the daylight's splendor; There with joy your praises render Unto him whose grace unbounded Has this wondrous supper founded. Though he reigns above most holy, Deigns to dwell with you most lowly. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet him, And with loving rev'rence greet him, For with words of life immortal He is knocking at your portal. Open wide the gates before him, Saying, as you there adore him: Grant, Lord, that I now receive you, That I nevermore will leave you. 3 He who craves a precious treasure Neither cost nor pain will measure, But the priceless gifts of heaven God to us has freely given. Though the wealth of earth were proffered, Naught would buy the gifts here offered: Christ's true body, for you riven, And his blood, for you once given. 4 Now I kneel before you lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On your mighty work I ponder, How by mystery surrounded, Depths that no one ever sounded. None may dare to pierce unbidden Secrets that with you are hidden. 5 Human reason, though it ponders, Cannot fathom these great wonders, That Christ's body must be boundless Since the souls it feeds are countless, And that he his blood is giving With the wine we are receiving. These great mysteries unsounded Are by God alone expounded. 6 Lord, by love and mercy driven, You have left your throne in heaven On the cross for me to languish And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness And to shed your blood in sadness. By this blood redeemed and living, Lord, I praise you with thanksgiving. 7 Jesus, Sun of life, my Splendor, Jesus, Friend of friends most tender, Jesus, Joy of my desiring, Fount of life, my soul inspiring - At your feet I cry, my Maker: Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven For our good, your glory, given. 8 Jesus, Lord of life, I pray you, Let me gladly here obey you. By your love I am invited; Be your love with love requited. By this supper let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure. Through the gift of grace you give me As your guest in heav'n receive me. Topics: Holy Communion; Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: SCHMÜCKE DICH

Lord Jesus Christ, You Have Prepared

Author: Sameul Kinner, 1603-68; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #312 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, you have prepared This feast for our salvation; It is your body and your blood, And at your invitation As weary souls, with sin oppressed, We come to you for needed rest, For comfort, and for pardon. 2 Although you did to heav'n ascend, Where angel hosts are dwelling, And in your presence they behold Your glory, all excelling, And though your people shall not see Your glory and your majesty Till dawns the judgment morning, 3 Yet, Savior, you are not confined To any habitation, But you are present ev'rywhere And with your congregation. Firm as a rock this truth shall stand, Unmoved by any daring hand Or subtle craft and cunning. 4 We eat this bread and drink this cup, Your precious Word believing That your true body and your blood Our lips are here receiving. This Word remains forever true, And there is naught you cannot do, For you, Lord, are almighty. 5 Though reason cannot understand, Yet faith this truth embraces: Your body, Lord, is ev'rywhere At once in many places. I leave to you how this can be; Your Word alone suffices me; I trust its truth unfailing. 6 Lord, I believe what you have said; Help me when doubts assail me. Remember that I am but dust, And let my faith not fail me. Your supper in this vale of tears Refreshes me and stills my fears And is my priceless treasure. 7 Grant that we worthily receive Your supper, Lord, our Savior, And, truly grieving for our sins, May prove by our behavior That we are thankful for your grace And day by day may run our race, In holiness increasing. 8 For your consoling supper, Lord, Be praised throughout all ages! Preserve it, for in ev'ry place The world against it rages. Grant that this sacrament may be A blessed comfort unto me When living and when dying.

Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Savior

Author: John Hus, c. 1369-1415; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #313 (1993) Meter: 8.8.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, our blessed Savior, Turned away God's wrath forever; By his bitter grief and woe He saved us from the evil foe. 2 As his pledge of love undying, He, this precious food supplying, Gives his body with the bread And with the wine the blood he shed. 3 Jesus here himself is sharing; Take heed how you are preparing, For if you do not believe, Judgment instead you shall receive. 4 Useless would be Jesus' passion If salvation you could fashion. Do not come if you suppose You need not him who died and rose. 5 Christ says, "Come, all you that labor, And receive my grace and favor; Those who feel no pain or ill Need no physician's help or skill." 6 Then hold fast with faith unshaken That this food is to be taken By the souls who are distressed, By hearts that long for peace and rest. 7 Praise the Father, who from heaven Unto us such food has given And, to mend what we have done, Gave into death his only Son. 8 If your heart this truth professes And your mouth your sin confesses, Surely you will be his guest And at his banquet ever blest.

The gifts that you have given Have filled my heart with rest. Oh, wondrous food of blessing, Oh, cup that heals our woes! My heart, this gift possessing, With praises overflows. 2 My Lord, you here have led me Within your holiest place And here have kindly fed me With treasures of your grace, For you have freely given What earth could never buy, The bread of life from heaven, That now I shall not die. 3 You gave me all I wanted-- This food can death destroy-- And you have freely granted The cup of endless joy. My Lord, I do not merit The favor you have shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before your throne. 4 Lord, grant me then, thus strengthened With heav'nly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, To serve with holy fear. And when you call my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through your merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #315 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all my weariness upon you lean. 2 This is the hour of banquet and of song; Here is the heav'nly table spread anew. Here let me feast and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with you. 3 I have no help but yours nor do I need Another arm but yours to lean upon. It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in your might, your might alone. 4 Mine is the sin but yours the righteousness; Mine is the guilt but yours the cleansing blood. Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace: Your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God. 5 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and wine remove, but you are here, Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 6 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb’s great marriage feast of bliss and love.
