Hymn Notes:

“All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name! (263)

This hymn is by Edward Perronet who was of Swiss Hugeunot ancestry,

but born in England in 1726. He was a son of a close friend and advisor of

the Wesleys and Edward himself was for many years an ardent worker for

Methodism, at times suffering physical abuse for his preaching. Differ-

ences arose between Perronet and the Wesleys about whether itinerant

preachers should also administer the sacraments and over Perronet’s at-

tacks on the Church of England which John and Charles Wesley never left.

The tune, named CORONATION, is by the Massachusetts native Oliver Hol-

den (1765-1844). The tune occupies a special place in the history of

church music in the U.S. It is the most frequently used and most often re-

printed tune to emerge in this country during the 18th century, making it the

oldest American tune in continuous use.

ANTHEM “Come to the Table” arr. Joseph Martin

Come to the table, all who hunger, those who seek the Bread of Life. Come to the table, all who are thirsty, those who are seeking living wine. At the table, leave your burdens; lean upon the Savior’s breast. Come to the table, all who are weary, come and find your promised rest. Come to the table, bring your troubles; lay them at the feet of Christ. Come to the table, all who are needy; God himself has paid the price. To the table bring your sorrow; wipe each teardrop from your eye. Come to the table, God is calling, all who come are satisfied.
