Jesus, at the Feast of Love

Verse 1

Our heavenly Father calls, And Christ invites us near; With both, our friendship shall be sweet, And our communion dear.

Verse 2

God pities all our griefs: He pardons every day; Almighty to protect our souls, And wise to guide our way.

Verse 3

How large his bounties are! What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, And purchased with his blood.

Verse 4

Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our Forerunner there.

Verse 5

Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above.
