Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 165
From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)
How happy are Thy servants, Lord,
Who thus remember Thee!
What tongue can tell our sweet accord,
Our perfect harmony?
Who Thy mysterious supper share,
Here at Thy table fed,
Many, and yet but one we are,
One undivided bread.
One with the living Bread Divine
Which now by faith we eat,
Our hearts, and minds, and spirits join,
And all in Jesus meet.
So dear the tie where souls agree
In Jesu's dying love:
Then only can it closer be,
When all are join'd above.
