As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4 Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your Table,
As we listen to your Word,
Help us know, O God, your presence:
Let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
Till we claim it as our own;
Teach us through this holy banquet
How to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
In the sacrament of life;
Send us forth to love and serve you,
Bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
To forgive as you forgave;
May we still behold your image
In the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
Other guests to share that feast
Where triumphant Love will welcome
Those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
Nor will pride our peace destroy,
As we join with saints and angels
To repeat the sounding joy. Topics: Compassion; Eucharist; Forgiveness; Gathering; Gathering; Going Forth; Paschal Mystery; Penance; Petition; Presence of God; Reconciliation; Sharing; Story; Welcome; Witness Used With Tune: NETTLETON

humbly hopeful into life;
use us as a means of blessing:
make us stronger, give us faith.

and make land once barren with green abound,
the pow'r of his Spirit, our cold hearts o’erflowing,
renews us for service with lives bright and glowing.
2 “I’ll bless you, and you shall be set for a blessing!”
Thus said God, the Lord, to his servant of old;
O may we, in grace and in number increasing,
through work show our faith and in service be bold;
upon your truth founded, we shall not move,
let us ever follow, and fearless prove;
so shall we in doctrine, in word and behavior,
to ev'ryone witness that Christ is our Savior. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Journey; Life in Christ; Salvation; Spread of the Gospel Used With Tune: SPRINGS OF SALVATION
