1 حين نرى مائدتكْ
يا ربَّ كلِّ ربْ
نرى هناك نعمتك
فائقةَ العجبْ

2 وأعجبَ الكلِّ نرى
مع سوءِ فعلنا
أنّا وجدنا موضعاً
رحبا لنا هنا

3 نحن الذين بالخطا
عمداً تدنسنا
نحن صلبنا ابنَ العلي
ودمَه دُسنا

4 فيا لها من نعمةٍ
غريبةِ الإحسانْ
أنّا ونحن هكذا
لنا هنا مكانْ

5 يدعو يسوعُ كلَّنا
في السر والعلنْ
لشركةٍ مباحةٍ
معْه بلا ثمنْ

6 يا كلَّ أبرار الورى
قوموا بإنشادِ
نُسبّح الفادي الذي
سواه لا فادي
