Part II: The Communion Sabbath

Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand and eternal And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

Here would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with Thee the royal wine of Heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

This is the hour of banquet and of song; This is the Heavenly table spread for me; Here let me feast, and feasting still prolong The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee.

--Horatius Bonar
