Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 111
From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
And can we call to mind
The Lamb for sinners slain,
And not expect to find
What He for us did gain,
What God to us in Him hath given,
Pardon and holiness and heaven?
We now forgiveness have,
We feel His work begun,
And He shall fully save
And perfect us in one,
Shall soon in all His image drest
Receive us to the marriage feast.
This token of Thy love
We thankfully receive,
And hence with joy remove
With Thee in heaven to live;
There, Lord, we shall Thy pledge restore,
And live to praise Thee evermore.
