515. Now to Your Table Spread


1 Now to your table spread
We come, each one in faith
That You alone provide the words of life and death:
In wine and bread,
On promised food
We find Your loving heart, O God.

2 Hands of the world stretch out
Your mystery to touch
In longing to believe a truth beyond our reach,
To sing in joy,
To cry in grief,
To know Your meaning for our life.

3 Here is our common wealth
In sharing what is good,
As though all humankind around one table stood,
This bread to break,
This wine to taste:
One people in the name of Christ.
