What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer’s hand, And purchased with his blood! 4 Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our forerunner there. 5 Here fix my roving heart! Here wait my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above. 529 C. M. Take this, etc. Luke 22:17.
