Here at Thy Table, Lord

Here at Thy ta­ble

Lord

this sac­red hour

O let us feel Thee near

in lov­ing pow­er

Calling our thoughts away from self and sin

As to Thy ban­quet hall we en­ter in.

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 par­don and peace

And from all bond­age win a full re­lease.

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.

Come then

O ho­ly Christ

feed us

we pray;

Touch with Thy pierc­èd hand each com­mon day;

Making this earth­ly life full of Thy grace

Till in the home of Heav­en we find our place.
