Sweet feast of love divine (Hymn 228)

Verse 1: Sweet feast of love divine! ’Tis grace that makes us free To feed upon this bread and wine, In mem'ry, Lord, of Thee. Verse 2: Here every welcome guest Waits, Lord, from Thee to learn The secrets of Thy Father's breast, And all Thy grace discern. Verse 3: Here conscience ends its strife, And faith delights to prove The sweetness of the Bread of Life, The fulness of Thy love. Verse 4: That blood that flowed for sin In symbol here we see, And feel the blessed pledge within That we are loved of Thee. Verse 5: O if this glimpse of love Is so divinely sweet, What will it be, O Lord, above, Thy gladd'ning smile to meet! Verse 6: To see Thee face to face, Thy perfect likeness wear, And all Thy ways of wondrous grace Through endless years declare.
