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