Text: | My God, and Is Thy Table Spread |
Author: | Philip Doddridge |
Tune: | ROCKINGHAM OLD |
Composer: | Edward Miller |
1 My God, and is Thy table spread,
And does Thy cup with love o'erflow?
Thither be all thy children led,
And let them all Thy sweetness know.
2 Hail! sacred Feast, which Jesus makes,
Rich banquet of His flesh and blood:
Thrice happy he who here partakes
That sacred stream, that heavenly food.
3 O let Thy table honored be,
And furnished well with joyful guests;
And may each soul salvation see,
That here its holy pledges tastes.
4 Drawn by Thy quickening grace, O Lord,
In countless numbers let them come,
And gather from their Father's board
The bread that lives beyond the tomb.
Amen.
