The Lord's Supper

Verse 1

Once more, like children, we are come, To banquet with our God; May each one feel himself at home, And feast upon thy love.

Verse 2

While we receive the bread and wine, As emblems of thy death, Lord, raise each soul above the sign, To feast on Christ by faith.

Verse 3

We would not come as strangers, Lord, Who only see the sign, But, as the objects of Christ’s love, Would feel we’re one in him.

Verse 4

Like free-born sons, we would be free, From every legal chain; Praise him who brought our liberty, And ever with him reign.
