When on Thy table, Lord, we gaze,
We marvel at the signs:
A loaf of bread, a cup of wine,
Displayed as God designs.

As heav’nly food to us,
Imparted by Thy mystic death
That we may share Thee thus.

Composed of Jesus’ blood;

And gain what is of God.

By drinking of this cup;

Till we are taken up.

And testify Thou art our life
And all we daily share.
