In Sweet Communion

1While in sweet communion feeding On this earthly bread and wine,
Saviour, may we see Thee bleeding On the cross, to make us Thine.
Tho' unseen,
Lord,
Thou art near us,
With Thy still small voice of love;
Whisper words of peace to cheer us,
Ev'ry doubt and fear remove.

2Bring before us all the story Of Thy life, and death of woe;
And, with hopes of endless glory,
Wean our hearts from all below.
Draw us nearer and still nearer To Thy pierc'd and bleeding side,
Till our view of self grows clearer In the light of Him who died.
