O Jesus Lord, when present at Thy table,
|
|
| 1. | O Jesus Lord, when present at Thy table, |
| | And one the bread and on the wine we gaze; |
| | We praise Thee, Lord, that Thou as food art |
| | able |
| | To be enjoyed by man in many ways. |
| | So all our being sings in praise to Thee, |
| | How small Thou art, how small Thou art! |
| | And Thee we'll eat through all eternity; |
| | How small Thou art, how small Thou art! |
| 2. | O what a shame-when Christ with all His |
| | riches, |
| | Has come into the world, life to supply- |
| | That man would live, not by Him, but by |
| | teachings, |
| | So powerless these riches to apply. |
| | But all we need to do is eat the Lord; |
| | He's marvelous, He's wonderful! |
| | And as we eat, we're inwardly restored; |
| | Christ grows in us, grows to the full. |
| 3. | O Jesus Christ, Thou camest not to mankind |
| | To be a king, to rule us outwardly. |
| | But Thou hast come as food to satisfy us, |
| | And by Thy life to guide us inwardly. |
| | (First chorus) |
| 4. | We praise Thee, Lord, for all Thy glorious |
| | grandeur, |
| | For all Thy strength and majesty replete; |
| | And yet, O Lord, what special thanks we |
| | give Thee, |
| | That all Thou art is small enough to eat. |
| | (First chorus) |
