Sweet feast of love divine!
83
S.M. 1 Sweet feast of love divine! ’Tis grace that makes us free To feed upon this bread and wine, In memory, Lord, of Thee. 2 Here every welcome guest Waits, Lord, from Thee to learn The secrets of Thy Father’s breast, And all Thy grace discern. 3 Here conscience ends its strife, And faith delights to prove The sweetness of the bread of life, The fullness of Thy love. 4 Thy blood that flowed for sin, In symbol here we see, And feel the blessèd pledge within, That we are loved of Thee. 5 Of if this glimpse of love Is so divinely sweet, What will it be, O Lord, above, Thy gladdening smile to meet! 6 To see Thee face to face, Thy perfect likeness wear, And all Thy ways of wondrous grace Through endless years declare!
