When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze

1
When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze,
  We marvel at the signs:
A loaf of bread, a cup of wine,
  Displayed as God designs.
2
The loaf portrays the bread of life
  As heav’nly food to us,
Imparted by Thy mystic death
  That we may share Thee thus.
3
The portion is the cup divine,
  Composed of Jesus’ blood;
This cup of blessing we receive
  And gain what is of God.
4
We eat of Thee, the Bread of life,
  By sharing here this bread;
Thus we remember Thee in love
  And with Thyself are fed.
5
We all enjoy the blessings gained
  By drinking of this cup;
Thus we remember Thee with joy,
  Till we are taken up.
6
By feasting on this bread and cup
  Thy death we now declare,
And testify Thou art our life
  And all we daily share.
7
We’re waiting for that glorious hour,
  When in the fullest way
We’ll feed on Thee and feast with Thee
  And worship Thee for aye.

The portion is the cup divine

Composed of Jesus’ blood

This cup of blessings we receive

And gain what is of God!

What a mercy, what a Grace!

We can gain what is of God!

Stanza 6:

"By feasting on this bread and cup

Thy death we now declare,"

1 Corinthians 11:26 says "... For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you declare the Lord's death until He comes."

footnote 1 - Or, proclaim, display. To take the Lord’s supper is not to remember the Lord’s death but to declare and display it. We remember the Lord Himself by declaring and displaying His death.

footnote 2 - ... By His first coming the Lord accomplished His death to carry out an all-inclusive redemption for the producing of the church... Hence, to declare the Lord’s death until He comes may imply the declaring of the existence of the church for the bringing in of the kingdom.

--------

To eat the bread and to drink the wine is to declare His death, declare His all-inclusive death that produced the church! To take the Lord's supper until He comes back is also to declare the existence of the church for the kingdom! Hallelujah!
