When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze,
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
The portion is the cup divine, Composed of Jesus' blood; This cup of blessing we receive And gain what is of God.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
We all enjoy the blessings gained By drinking of this cup; Thus we remember Thee with joy, Till we are taken up.
Verse 6
By feasting on this bread and cup Thy death we now declare, And testify Thou art our life And all we daily share.
Verse 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.
