This for thy dear sake we do, Here thy bloody Passion shew, Till thou dost to judgment come, Till thy arms receive us home. Then we walk in means no more, There their sacred use is o'er, There we see thee face to face, Sav'd eternally by grace. Hymn XIII. Come all who truly bear The name of Christ your Lord, His last mysterious Supper share, And keep his kindest word: Page 11 Hereby your faith approve In Jesus crucified, In mem'ry of my dying love Do this, he said; and died. The badge and token this, The sure confirming seal That he is ours, and we are his, The servants of his will, His dear peculiar ones, The purchase of his blood; His blood which once for all atones, And brings us now to God. Then let us still profess Our Master's honour'd name, Stand forth his faithful witnesses, True followers of the Lamb: In proof that such we are His saying we receive, And thus to all mankind declare We do in Christ believe. Part of his church below We thus our right maintain, Our living membership we shew, And in the fold remain; The sheep of Israel's fold, In England's pastures fed, And fellowship with all we hold Who hold it with our head. Hymn XIV. Father, hear the blood of Jesus, Speaking in thine ears above! From thy wrath and curse release us, Manifest thy pard'ning love; Page 12 O receive us to thy favour, For his only sake receive, Give us to our bleeding Saviour, Let us by thy dying live. "To thy pard'ning grace receive them" Once he pray'd upon the tree, Still his blood cries out "Forgive them, All their sins were purg'd by me." Still our advocate in heaven Prays the prayer on earth begun, "Father, shew their sins forgiven, Father, glorify thy Son!" Hymn XV. Dying friend of sinners, hear us Humbly at thy cross who lie, In thine ordinance be near us, Now th' ungodly justify: Let thy bowels of compassion To thy ransom'd creatures move, Shew us all thy great salvation, God of truth, and God of love.
