153 My God, and is Thy table spread,
1 My God, and is Thy table spread,
And does Thy cup with love o'erflow?
Thither be all Thy children led,
And let them all its sweetness know.
2 Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes,
Rich banquet of His flesh and blood!
Thrice happy he who here partakes
That sacred stream, that heavenly food!
3 O let Thy table honored be,
And furnished well with worthy guests;
And may each soul salvation see
That here its sacred pledges tastes!
