Here at Thy table, Lord,
this sacred hour,
O let us feel Thee near,
in loving power,
Calling our thoughts away
from self and sin
As to Thy banquet hall we enter in.
Sit at the feast, dear Lord,
break Thou the bread;
Fill Thou the cup
that brings life to the dead;
That we may find in Thee
pardon and peace,
And from all bondage
win a full release.
So shall our life of faith
be full, be sweet;
And we shall find our strength
for each day meet;
Fed by Thy living bread,
all hunger past,
We shall be satisfied,
and saved at last.
Come then, O holy Christ,
feed us, we pray;
Touch with Thy piercèd hand
each common day;
Making this earthly life full of Thy grace,
Till in the home of heaven
we find our place.
