Lyics

LORD of our highest love,

Let now thy peace be given;

Fix all our thoughts on things above,

Our hearts on thee in heaven.



And when the loaf we break,

Thine own rich blessing give;

May all, with loving hearts, partake,

And all new strength receive.



Dear Lord, what memories crowd

Around the sacred cup:

The upper room-Gethsemane-

Thy foes-thy lifting up!



O scenes of suffering love,

Enough our souls to win;

Enough to melt our hearts, and prove

The antidote of sin!
