Stanza 1
Welcomed to the table of the King,
Though no worth unto this meal we bring:
Come! Rememb'ring Him, we dine and sing.
Stanza 2
Like no bread the fathers ate and died,
This, His body, broken for His Bride:
Eat! Proclaiming Christ, the crucified.
Stanza 3
From this cup, the blood of our High Priest,
Poured to cleanse the low, the last, the least:
Drink! Awaiting Heaven's wedding feast.
About the song
This modern communion hymn celebrates the gracious invitation of unworthy sinners to the Lord's Table, where believers remember Christ's sacrifice and proclaim His death until He comes. Through the bread and cup, it reflects upon His body given and blood shed for His people, anticipating the glorious marriage supper of the Lamb.
