Now Let Us from This Table Rise

Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise, Renewed in body, mind, and soul; With Christ we die and live again, His selfless love has made us whole. 2 With minds alert, upheld by grace, To spread the word in speech and deed, We follow in the steps of Christ, At one with all in hope and need. 3 To fill each human house with love, It is the sacrament of care; The work that Christ began to do, We humbly pledge ourselves to share. 4 Then grant us courage Father God, To choose again the pilgrim way, And help us to accept with joy The challenge of tomorrow's day.

King eternal, You the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! Son of Mary, Son of God from heaven's throne; Our salvation you accomplished, Robed in flesh, our great High Priest; Here on earth both priest and victim In the eucharistic feast.
