Words: James G. Deck
1. Lamb of God! our souls adore Thee
While upon Thy face we gaze;
There the Father's love and glory
Shine in all their brightest rays.
Thine almighty power and wisdom
All creation's works proclaim;
Heaven and earth alike confess Thee
As the ever great I AM.
2. Lamb of God! Thy Father's bosom
Ever was Thy dwelling-place;
His delight, in Him rejoicing,
One with Him in power and grace:
O what wondrous love and mercy!
Thou didst lay Thy glory by
And for us didst come from heaven,
As the Lamb of God, to die.
3. Lamb of God! when we behold Thee
Lowly in the manger laid;
Wand'ring as a homeless stranger
In the world Thy hands had made;
When we see Thee in the garden
In Thine agony of blood;
At Thy grace we are confounded,
Holy, spotless Lamb of God.
4. When we see Thee, as the Victim,
Bound to the accursed tree,
For our guilt and folly stricken,
All our judgment borne by Thee.
Lord, we own, with hearts adoring,
Thou hast loved us unto blood;
Glory, glory everlasting
Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God!
123.
Words: James G. Deck
1. Lamb of God! Thou now art seated
High upon Thy Father's throne;
All Thy gracious work completed,
All Thy mighty vict'ry won.
Every knee in heaven is bending
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
Every voice and harp is swelling,
"Worthy is the Lamb to reign."
2. Lord, in all Thy pow'r and glory,
Still Thy thoughts and eyes are here,
Watching o'er Thy ransomed people
To Thy gracious heart so dear.
Thou for us art interceding,
Everlasting is Thy love;
And a blessed rest preparing
In the Father's house above.
3. Lamb of God! Thou soon in glory
Wilt to this sad earth return;
All Thy foes shall quake before Thee,
All that now despise Thee mourn;
Then Thy saints all gathered to
Thee With Thee in Thy kingdom reign;
Thine the praise, and Thine the glory
Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
114.
Words: Boethia Thompson
1. Jesus, Lord, we know Thee present
At Thy table freshly spread,
Seated at Thy priceless banquet
With Thy banner overhead.
Precious moments at Thy table
From all fear and doubt set free;
Here to rest, so sweetly able,
Occupied alone with Thee.
2. Here rejoicing in Thy nearness,
Gladly by Thy Spirit led;
Calmly in the blest remembrance
Of Thy precious blood once shed.
Lord, we take each simple token
In fond memory of Thee;
Muse upon Thy body broken,
And Thy blood shed on the tree.
3. O what joy it is to see Thee
In these emblems gathered here!
In the bread and wine of blessing,
Bread to strengthen, wine to cheer.
Lord, behold us met together,
Members of our risen Head,
Thus to take the cup of blessing,
Thus to share the broken bread.
4. Lord, we know how true
Thy promise To be with us where we meet,
When in Thy loved Name we gather
To enjoy communion sweet.
Dearer still that looked-for promise
To each waiting, yearning heart,
That we soon will be with Thee, Lord
And for ever where Thou art.
