While in sweet communion feeding

While in sweet communion feeding On this earthly bread and wine, Saviour, may we see Thee bleeding On the Cross to make us Thine! Now our eyes we would be closing To this fleeting world below, And upon Thyself reposing, More of grace and mercy know.

Though unseen, be ever near us With the still small voice of love, Whispering words of peace to cheer us, Every doubt and fear remove; Bring before us all the story Of Thy life and death of woe, And, with hopes of endless glory, Wean our hearts from all below.
