When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze, We marvel at the signs: A loaf of bread, a cup of wine, Displayed as God designs. |
2 |
The loaf portrays the bread of life As heav'nly food to us, Imparted by Thy mystic death That we may share Thee thus. |
3 |
The portion is the cup divine, Composed of Jesus' blood; This cup of blessing we receive And gain what is of God. |
4 |
We eat of Thee, the Bread of life, By sharing here this bread; Thus we remember Thee in love And with Thyself are fed. |
5 |
We all enjoy the blessings gained By drinking of this cup; Thus we remember Thee with joy, Till we are taken up. |
6 |
By feasting on this bread and cup Thy death we now declare, And testify Thou art our life And all we daily share. |
7 |
We're waiting for that glorious hour, When in the fullest way We'll feed on Thee and feast with Thee And worship Thee for aye. |
