THE LORD'S SUPPER.

By Mrs. P. Alderman

MRS. P. ALDERMAN.
O how shall we come to the table of God,— This board in the wilderness spread, The banquet most holy, the blood of our Lord That for us was on Calvary shed?
His body the bread that was broken for me; O mystery sacred and sweet! The cup of His shame is the cup of my joy; Salvation He came to complete.
“As oft as ye come.” If only but once, My heart would have glowed at the grace That invites a poor sinner to honor so high, And cheers with the smiles of His face.
My Saviour, I come with repentance and tears, Bowed down with the weight of thy love: For here thou so sweetly dost banish my fears While thy Spirit broods o'er like a dove. With fervent devotion my heart shall be cheered Till we meet at thy table above.
