1 Lord, we adore thy bounteous Hand,
And sing the solemn Feast,
Where sweet celestial Dainties stand
For ev'ry willing Guest.
[2 The Tree of Life adorns the Board
With rich immortal Fruit;
And ne'er an angry flaming Sword
To guard the Passage to 't.
3 The Cup stands crown'd with living Juice;
The Fountain flows above,
And runs down streaming for our Use,
In Rivulets of Love.]
4 The food's prepar'd by heav'nly Art,
The Pleasures well refin'd
They spread new Life through ev'ry Heart,
And chear the drooping Mind.
5 Shout and proclaim the Saviour's Love,
Ye Saints that taste his Wine,
Join with your Kindred Saints above,
In loud Hosannas join.
6 A Thousand Glories to the God
That gives such Joys as this;
Hosanna! let it sound abroad,
And reach where Jesus is.
