#71, #201

 
 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.
