Sweet feast of love divine!
’Tis grace that makes us free
To feed upon this bread and wine,
In mem’ry, Lord, of Thee.

Here every welcome guest
Waits, Lord, from Thee to learn
The secrets of Thy Father’s breast,
And all Thy grace discern.

Here conscience ends its strife,
And faith delights to prove
The sweetness of the Bread of Life,
The fulness of Thy love.

The fulness of Thy love.

That blood that flowed for sin
In symbol here we see,
And feel the blessed pledge within
That we are loved of Thee.

O if this glimpse of love
Is so divinely sweet,
What will it be, O Lord, above,
Thy gladd’ning smile to meet!

To see Thee face to face,
Thy perfect likeness wear,
And all Thy ways of wondrous grace
Through endless years declare.
Thy perfect likeness wear,

A tremendous hymn to share with all true Christians as it resonates in the spirit of the listeners. Thanks for a great job for the Lord in Hymnal.net.

We sang this hymn three times in our table meeting yesterday. I noticed, for the first time, that the hymn begins with a "sweet feast" and ends with us wearing the perfect likeness of our dear Lord.
May we all partake of our sweet feast of love divine, until we wear His perfect likeness!

Edward Denny, son of E. Denny, fourth baronet, of Tralee Castle, County Kerry, succeeded his father as baronet in August 1831:
Nearly the whole town of Tralee belonged to him. He had an opportunity twenty years ago, when his leases fell in, of raising his rents to figures that, in some cases, would not have been considered extortionate had they been quadrupled. He, however, decided to accept the old rents. The result was that he was almost alone in escaping any reduction in the hands of the Land Commission. So far as he was himself concerned, a little money went a long way, but he gave liberally to poor relations and to the development of religious work in connection with the “Brethren.” Living in a quiet way in a cottage in Islington, he devoted his time to the study of the prophetic books. His rental income from Ireland was about £13,000 a year. - Leeds Mercury (newspaper), June 19, 1889

Such a blessed hymn! It's not just partaking the bread and wine, it's the sweet feast of love divine! How intimate and how glorious to be in the Lord's Table! Amen.
