689. S. M. Furnesy.

A Communion Hymn.

1 O, for a prophet's fire,

O, for an angel's tongue,

To speak the mighty love of Him

Who on the cross was hung.

2 In vain our hearts attempt,

In language meet, to tell

How through a thousand sorrows burned

That flame unquenchable.

3 Yet would we praise that love,

Beyond expression dear:

Come, gather round this table, then,

And celebrate it here.
