Gathered at Thy table, Lord;
|
|
| 1. | Gathered at Thy table, Lord; |
| | Here the bread and wine are spread. |
| | Thou, our High Priest, present here; |
| | We, by Thee, are richly fed. |
| | Thou, Lord, our Melchisedec- |
| | We, the ones You come to feed; |
| | God to us to minister, |
| | Rich supply to us indeed. |
| 2. | From the slaughter of the kings |
| | Abram did return one night, |
| | O'er the foe victorious, |
| | With the spoils of the fight. |
| | On the way this One he met, |
| | Who for him did intercede; |
| | King of Righteousness and Peace |
| | Meeting Abram in his need. |
| 3. | We too, Lord, the kings have fought |
| | In the battle all day long; |
| | By Thine intercession, Lord, |
| | We are now victorious, strong. |
| | Round this table here we meet, |
| | We the church victorious, |
| | To enjoy the ministering |
| | Of the processed God to us. |
| 4. | We're not sinners, miserable; |
| | All our sins are history! |
| | Now to us, the fighters true, |
| | Is Thy priestly ministry. |
| | Gathered in thanksgiving, Lord, |
| | Now our hearts to Thee we raise; |
| | To our great Melchisedec, |
| | Render we our highest praise! |
