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.
