LyicsJESUS spreads His banner o'er us,
Cheers our famish'd souls with food;
He the banquet spreads before us
Of His mystic flesh and blood.
Precious banquet; bread of heaven;
Wine of gladness, flowing free;
May we taste it, kindly given
In remembrance, Lord, of Thee!
In Thy holy incarnation,
When the angels sang Thy birth;
In Thy fasting and temptation;
In Thy labors on the earth;
In Thy trial and rejection;
In Thy suff'rings on the tree;
In Thy glorious resurrection,
May we, Lord, remember Thee.
