Author: Henry Eyster Jacobs Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #190a (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
That we may feast on Thee to-day;
Beneath these forms of Bread and Wine
Enrich us with Thy grace divine.
2 The chastened peace of sin forgiven,
The filial joy of heirs of Heaven,
Grant, as we share this wondrous food,
Thy Body broken and Thy Blood.
;
3 Our trembling hearts cleave to Thy Word
All Thou hast said Thou dost afford,
All that Thou art we here receive,
And all we are to Thee we give.
4 One Bread, one Cup, one Body, we,
United by our life in Thee,
Thy love proclaim till Thou shalt come,
To bring Thy scattered loved ones home.
5 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
To keep us steadfast to that day,
That each may be Thy welcomed guest,
When Thou shalt spread Thy heavenly feast.
Amen.
