d pronounce it shame, And fling their scandals on thy cause; We come to boast our Saviour's Name, And make our triumphs in his cross. 4 With joy we tell the scoffing age He that was dead has left his tomb, He lives above their utmost rage, And we are waiting till he come. Hymn 3:20. The provisions for the table of our Lord; or, The tree of life, and river of love. 1 Lord, we adore thy bounteous hand, And sing the solemn feast Where sweet celestial dainties stand For every willing guest. 2 [The tree of life adorns the board With rich immortal fruit, And ne'er an angry flaming sword To guard the passage to't. 3 The cup stands crown'd with living juice; The fountain flows above, And runs down streaming for our use In rivulets of love.] 4 The food's prepar'd by heavenly art, The pleasure's well refin'd, They spread new life thro' every heart, And cheer the drooping mind. 5 Shout and proclaim the Saviour's love, Ye saints that taste his wine, Join with your kindred saints above, In loud hosannas join. 6 A thousand glories to the God That gives such joy as this; Hosanna! let it sound abroad, And reach where Jesus is.
