Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944; Georgina Pando-Connolly, b. 1946 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:5-7 Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
As we listen to your word,
Help us know, O God, your presence;
Let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
Till we claim it as our own;
Teach us through this holy banquet
How to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
In the sacrament of life;
Send us forth to love and serve you,
Bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
To forgive as you forgave;
May we still behold your image
In the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
Other guests to share that feast
Where triumphant Love will welcome
Those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
Nor will pride our peace destroy,
As we join with saints and angels
To repeat the sounding joy.

1 Al reunirnos a tu mesa,
tu palabra a escuchar,
que el sentir, Dios, tu presencia
nos ayude a cambiar.
Nutre al pueblo con tu historia,
haznos como tú, Señor.
Muéstranos en esta cena
la victoria de tu amor.
2 Cambia el culto en testimonio
siempre en nuestro caminar.
Danos ansias de servirte
y tu paz y amor sembrar.
Haznos compasivos, Cristo,
para siempre perdonar.
Que te honremos en el mundo
que viniste a salvar.
3 Ven, Expíritu, convida
a la fiesta, a compartir
con los pobres y perqueños,
que el Amor va a recibir.
Ya no cegará la envidia,
el orgullo pasará.
Con los ángeles cantamos;
Dios por siempre reinará. Topics: Adoración; Adoration; Cena del Señor; Lord's Supper; Discipleship; Discipulado; Envio; Sending Forth; Ministerio; Ministry; Palabra de Dios; Word of God; Testimonio; Testimony Used With Tune: NETTLETON
