ON ATTENDING THE SACRAMENT.
Before Thy altar, Lord, I kneel,
In penitence and pray'r;
Intending to renew the seal
Of my baptism there.

I come not to thy table, Lord,
An uninvited guest;
For Thou hast call'd me to thy board,
To share the holy feast.

And though unworthy, as I am,
Even of the crumbs that fall,
Yet through the mercy of the Lamb,
Who died for me, for all,
