1. Lord, we thank Thee for the table,  

With the bread and with the wine;  

At this table we enjoy Thee   

As the feast of love divine.  

We partake the bread, the emblem   

Of Thy body giv’n for us;  

And we share the wine, the symbol   

Of Thy blood Thou shedd’st for us.

Chorus      Lo, the holy table!    

With the sacred symbols;    

Its significance in figure    

Is unsearchable!

2. By the death of Thy redemption,   

That Thy life Thou may impart,  

E’en Thyself to us Thou gavest   

That we share in all Thou art.  

By the bread and wine partaking,   

We Thy death display and prove;  

Eating, drinking of Thyself, Lord,   

We remember Thee with love.

Chorus      Lo, the holy table!    

With the sacred symbols;    

Its significance in figure    

Is unsearchable!

3. By this bread which signifieth   

Thy one body mystical,  

We commune with all Thy members   

In one bond identical.  

By this holy cup of blessing,   

Cup of wine which now we bless,  

Of Thy blood we have communion   

With all those who faith possess.

Chorus      Lo, the holy table!    

With the sacred symbols;    

Its significance in figure    

Is unsearchable!

4. Thou art our eternal portion,   

Here we take a sweet foretaste;  

We are waiting for Thy kingdom,   

And Thy coming now we haste.  

At Thy coming, in Thy kingdom,   

With all saints that overcome,  

We anew will feast upon Thee   

And Thy loving Bride become.

Chorus      Lo, the holy table!    

With the sacred symbols;    

Its significance in figure    

Is unsearchable!
