Author: Rev. Emmanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #274a (1908) Lyrics: 1 Invited, Lord, by boundless grace,
I stood a guest before Thy face;
As Host Thou spreadst no common food:
Here is Thy body and Thy blood.
2 How holy is this sacrament
Where pardon, peace, and life are spent!
This bread and cup my lips have pressed;
Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed.
3 Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart
With full assurance in his heart;
For such communion, Lord, with Thee,
May a new life my offering be.
4 When Thou shalt in Thy glory come,
To gather all Thy people home,
Then let me, as Thy heavenly guest,
In anthems praise Thee with the blest! Topics: The Catechism Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: HEBRON
