1 Lord, we thank Thee for the table,
With the bread and with the wine;
We partake the bread, the emblem
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
2 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;
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
3 By this bread which signifieth
We commune with all Thy members
Cup of wine which now we bless,
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
4 Thou art our eternal portion,
Here we take a sweet foretaste;
We are waiting for Thy kingdom,
At Thy coming, in Thy kingdom,
Lo, the holy table!
With the sacred symbols;
Its significance in figure
Is unsearchable!
