HYMNS.

More closely, this scripture applies To all, who unstedfast, unstable, Their" day* of salvation" despise, And past it, alas! are unable.

Now, treachery to Christ they deplore, In His kingdom, would sit at His table, But the Master once risen, the door

Once shut, they shall never be able.

But those, who the Saviour have known,

The hope of their souls, sure and stable, In His name, in His strength, strive alone, And the Spirit declares shall be able.+

" This do in remembrance of me."

LUKE xxii. 19.

To the twelve, when Jesus brake Ritual bread at evening board ,­Do ye this,' twas thus He spake, In remembrance of your Lord.

And His followers all obey

This their Saviour's last command,

Tho' they vary in the way,

That its sense they understand,

* 2 Cor. vi. 2.

+ Phil. iv. 13.
