HYMNS FOR COMMUNION
“NEVER GROW OLD”
2 In that beautiful home
Where we’ll nevermore roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King
Through eternity sing,
’Tis a land where we never shall die.
1 I have heard of a land On the faraway strand, ’Tis a beautiful home of the soul; Built by Jesus on high, There we never shall die, ’Tis a land where we never grow old. Refrain:
Never grow old, Where we’ll never grow old, In a land where we’ll never grow old; Never grow old, Where we’ll never grow old, In a land where we’ll never grow old. 3 When our work here is done
And the life crown is won,
And our troubles and trials are o’er,
All our sorrows will end,
And our voices will blend
With the loved ones who’ve gone on before.
“ONCE, ONLY ONCE”
Favorite Communion Hymn of the Deceased
1 Once, only once, and once for all, 4 So he who once atonement wrought,
his precious life he gave; our Priest of endless power,
before the cross our spirits fall, presents himself for those he bought
and own it strong to save. in that dark noontide hour.
2 ‘One off’ring, single and complete,’ with lips and hearts we say; but what he never can repeat he shows forth day by day. 5 His manhood pleads where now it lives
on heaven’s eternal throne,
and where in mystic rite he gives
its presence to his own.
3 For, as the priest of Aaron’s line within the holiest stood, and sprinkled all the mercy-shrine with sacrificial blood; 6 And so we show thy death, O Lord,
till thou again appear;
and feel, when we approach thy board,
we have an altar here.
7 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run.
“LOVE DEVINE, ALL LOVES EXCELLING”
1 Love divine, all loves excelling, 2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
Joy of Heav’n to Earth come down, Into ev’ry troubled breast;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling, Let us all in thee inherit,
All thy faithful mercies crown; Let us find thy promised rest;
Jesus, thou art all compassion, Take away our love of sinning;
Pure, unbounded love thou art; Alpha and Omega be;
Visit us with thy salvation, End of faith as its beginning,
Enter ev’ry trembling heart. Set our hearts at liberty.
