Thou knowest to be pleasing to Thee and good for me.

Thou art my Love and all my Joy: Thou art my God and my All: Thou art the Portion of mine inheritance and of my cup; Thou art He who shall maintain my lot.

O my God and my All! may the sweet and burning power of Thy love, I beseech Thee, absorb my soul, that I may die unto the world for the love of Thee, who for the love of me hast vouchsafed to die upon the Cross, 0 my God and my All!

Lord, if I had lived innocently, I could not. have deserved to receive the crumbs that fall

from Thy Table. How great is Thy mercy, who hast feasted me with the Bread of Virgins, with the Wine of Angels, with Manna from Heaven!

O when shall I pass from this dark glass, from this veil of Sacraments, to the vision of Thy eternal light; from eating Thy Body, to beholding Thy face in Thy eternal Kingdom?

Let not my sins crucify the Lord of life again let it never be said concerning me, "The hand of him that betrayeth Me is with Me on the table."

O that I might love Thee as well as any creature loved Thee! let me think nothing but Thee, desire nothing but Thee, enjoy nothing but Thee.

O Jesus, be a Saviour unto me. Thou art

all things unto me. Let nothing ever please me but what savours of Thee, and Thy miraculous sweetness.

Blessed be the mercies of our Lord, who of God is made unto me wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. Amen.

O Jesu, make Thyself to me
A living bright reality;

More present to faith's vision keen
Than any outward object seen;
More dear, more intimately nigh,
Than e'en the sweetest earthly tie.

O Saviour! I have nought to plead,
In earth beneath, or heaven above,
But just my own exceeding need,
And Thy exceeding love.

The need will soon be past and gone,
Exceeding great, but quickly o'er;
The love unbought is all Thine own,
And lasts for evermore.

1 "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the Blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the Body of Christ?"

NOW

[OW, my tongue, the mystery telling
Of the glorious Body sing,

And the Blood, all price excelling,
Which the Gentiles' Lord and King,
In a Virgin's womb once dwelling,
Shed for this world's ransoming.
Given for us, and condescending
To be born for us below,

He, with men in converse blending,
Dwelt the seed of truth to sow,
Till He closed with wondrous ending
His most patient life of woe.

That last night, at supper lying,

'Mid the Twelve, His chosen band, Jesus, with the law complying,

Keeps the feast its rites demand;
Then, more precious Food supplying,
Gives Himself with His own Hand.

Word-made-Flesh true bread He maketh
By His Word His Flesh to be;
Wine His Blood; which whoso taketh
Must from carnal thoughts be free;
Faith alone, though sight forsaketh,
Shews true hearts the mystery.
