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.
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
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.
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
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.
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
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.
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
