| 1 | Lord, we thank Thee for the table, |
| | | With the bread and with the wine; |
| | At this table we enjoy Thee |
| | | As the feast of love divine. |
| | We partake the bread, the emblem |
| | | Of Thy body giv’n for us; |
| | And we share the wine, the symbol |
| | | Of Thy blood Thou shedd’st for us. |
| Chorus |
| | | | Lo, the holy table! |
| | | | With the sacred symbols; |
| | | | Its significance in figure |
| | | | Is unsearchable! |
| 2 | By the death of Thy redemption, |
| | | That Thy life Thou may impart, |
| | E’en Thyself to us Thou gavest |
| | | That we share in all Thou art. |
| | By the bread and wine partaking, |
| | | We Thy death display and prove; |
| | Eating, drinking of Thyself, Lord, |
| | | We remember Thee with love. |
| 3 | By this bread which signifieth |
| | | Thy one body mystical, |
| | We commune with all Thy members |
| | | In one bond identical. |
| | By this holy cup of blessing, |
| | | Cup of wine which now we bless, |
| | Of Thy blood we have communion |
| | | With all those who faith possess. |
| 4 | Thou art our eternal portion, |
| | | Here we take a sweet foretaste; |
| | We are waiting for Thy kingdom, |
| | | And Thy coming now we haste. |
| | At Thy coming, in Thy kingdom, |
| | | With all saints that overcome, |
| | We anew will feast upon Thee |
| | | And Thy loving Bride become. |
