HYMN 149.
A Hymn of Praise after the Lord's Supper.
The Banqueting-House.
1
HAlleluja let us sing aloud,
Salvation, Glory, Fame,
Be given to the Lord our God,
O glorifie his Name,
2
Who loved us, and sent his Son
For our eternal good,
To wash away our scarlet sins
In his most precious Blood.
3
Into the House of Banqueting
He brings us to be fed,
Love is the Banner flourishing
VVith honour o're our head.
4
Beneath his shadow we are plac'd
VVith joy and true content;
His Fruit is sweet unto our taste,
His VVord and Sacrament.
5
O draw me my dear Saviour then
VVith thy strong Cords of Love,
And we will all run after thee
As fast as we can move:
6
And in thy Name, O Lord, we'll trust,
For that's a Tower strong,
Whither the Righteous oft doth fly
For shelter all day long.
