1 When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze,
We marvel at the signs:
A loaf of bread, a cup of wine,
Displayed as God designs.
2 The loaf portrays the bread of life
As heav'nly food to us,
Imparted by Thy mystic death
That we may share Thee thus.
3 The portion is the cup divine,
Composed of Jesus' blood;
This cup of blessing we receive
And gain what is of God.
4 We eat of Thee, the Bread of life,
By sharing here this bread;
Thus we remember Thee in love
And with Thyself are fed.
5 We all enjoy the blessings gained
By drinking of this cup;
Thus we remember Thee with joy,
Till we are taken up.
6 By feasting on this bread and cup
Thy death we now declare,
And testify Thou art our life
And all we daily share.
7 We're waiting for that glorious hour,
When in the fullest way
We'll feed on Thee and feast with Thee
And worship Thee for aye.
