High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed, shall daily hear;
Till, in life's latest hour, I bow,

And bless in death a bond so dear. Amen.

For the Bread and for the Wine

Gratias Agimus 7776

WALTER ALCOCK

1. For the bread and for the wine, For the pledge that seals Him mine,

[ocr errors]

For the words of love di - vine, We give Thee thanks, O Lord. A-men.

2

For the feast of love and peace,
Bidding all our sorrows cease,
Earnest of the kingdom's bliss,

We give Thee thanks, O Lord.

3

Only bread and only wine,

Yet to faith the solemn sign

Of the heavenly and divine!

We give Thee thanks, O Lord.

4

For the words that turn our eye
To the cross of Calvary,
Bidding us in faith draw nigh,

We give Thee thanks, O Lord.

5

For the words that fragrance breathe,
These poor symbols underneath,
Words that His own peace bequeath,
We give Thee thanks, O Lord.

6

For the words that tell of home,
Pointing us beyond the tomb,

"Do ye this until I come,"

We give Thee thanks, O Lord. Amen.

The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But He has made us mighty
And stronger than the strong.

"And whosoever cometh

I will not cast him out."

O welcome voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt,
Which calls us very sinners,
Unworthy though we be,

Of love so free and boundless,

To come, dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.

176 Souls of Men! Why Will Ye Scatter

Ilsley 8787 8787

FRANK GRenville IlSLEY

1. Souls of men! why will ye scat - ter Like a crowd of frightened sheep?

4

Fool-ish hearts, why will ye wan - der From a love so true and deep?

[blocks in formation]

er kind -est shep-herd Half SO gentle, half so sweet,

As the Saviour, Who would have us Come and gath-er round His feet? A men.

2

It is God: His love looks mighty, But is mightier than it seems; 'Tis our Father: and His fondness

Goes far out beyond our dreams. There's a wideness in God's mercy,

Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty.

3

There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment given.
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good!
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood.
