Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #307b (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, we thus obey
thy last and kindest word;
here in thine own appointed way
we come to meet thee, Lord.
2 Our hearts we open wide
to make the Saviour room;
and lo, the Lamb, the Crucified,
the sinner's friend is come!
3 Thy presence makes the feast;
now let our spirits feel
the glory not to be expressed,
the joy unspeakable.
4 With high and heavenly bliss
thou dost our spirits cheer;
thy house of banqueting is this
and thou hast brought us here.
5 Now let our souls be fed
with manna from above,
and over us thy banner spread
of everlasting love. Topics: Holy Communion Scripture: Exodus 16:11-16 Languages: English Tune Title: GILDAS (ST AUGUSTINE, WEISSE)
