Tune: | WOODBRIDGE ROAD |
Composer: | John Wilson (b. 1905) |
1 Upon thy table, Lord, we place
These symbols of our work and thine,
Life's food won only by thy grace,
Who giv'st to all the bread and wine.
2 Within these simple things there lie
The height and depth of human life,
The thought of man, his tears and toil,
His hopes and fears, his joy and strife.
3 Accept them, Lord; from thee they come:
We take them humbly at thy hand.
These gifts of thine for higher use
We offer, as thou dost command.
Amen.
