Invited, Lord, by Boundless Grace

Invited

Lord

by bound­less grace

I stand a guest be­fore Thy face;

As Host Thou spreadst no com­mon food:

Here is Thy bo­dy and Thy blood.

How ho­ly is this sac­ra­ment

Where par­don

peace

and life are spent!

This bread and cup my lips have pressed;

Thou blessedst

and my soul is blessed.

Now let­test Thou Thy guest de­part

With full as­sur­ance in his heart.

For such com­mun­ion

Lord

with Thee

A new life may my of­fer­ing be.

When Thou shalt in Thy glo­ry come

To ga­ther all Thy peo­ple home

Then let me

as Thy heav’n­ly guest

In an­thems praise Thee with the blest.
