About the Hymn
While reading Scripture, I was struck anew by the awe-inspiring truth that mere mortals are welcomed to the table of the King of Kings. That moment of reflection gave rise to this short hymn.
Welcomed to the Table is built around the three biblical tenses of the Lord's Supper: we remember Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, proclaim His death until He returns, and await the coming Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Each stanza moves through these themes with simplicity and reverence, inviting worshipers to Come! Eat! Drink!—echoing the liturgical action of the Supper itself.
