The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#359

359. Bread of Life

1 Here at Thy table, Lord,
This sacred hour,
O let us feel Thee near,
In loving pow'r;
Calling our thoughts away
From self and sin,
As to Thy banquet hall
We enter in.

2 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,
Comfort and peace;
And from all sorrow win
A full release.

3 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.

4 Come then, O holy Christ,
Feed us, we pray;
Touch with Thy pierced hand
Each common day;
Making this earthly life
Full of Thy grace,
Till in the home of heav'n
We find our place.

Amen.
