Poems (Baldwyn)/Christian Communion
CHRISTIAN COMMUNION.
How sweet with Christian friends to kneel, And pour our souls in prayer! And holy is the joy we feel To meet our Saviour there.
There grace divine in peace descends, And spreads its blessing round; Where the true righteous meekly bend Is heav'nly manna found.
Sweetly refreshing 'tis to meet With those who love the Lord; Who love to sit at Jesus' feet, And praise his gracious word.
Holy communion! dearer far Than joys that earth bestows; Thou art life's holy radiant star; From thee sweet comfort flows.
Strength for the hour of need is given; Grace, peace, and joy, and love; The hope of friendship too in heaven, Our mutual home above.
