1 Christ the Lord who calls us by his loving grace meets us at his table, gives to each a place; everyone who trusts him here becomes his guest at this meal most costly, holiest, and best. 2 Once he gave his body on a cross of wood; now he lives to bless us with his precious food: 'Do this' he commanded 'to remember me'; let us taste his goodness, his salvation see. 3 By this loaf now broken, by this cup of wine, Christ provides his people with his gracious sign; joining in one body, all may take one bread, sharing in one Spirit, governed by one Head. 4 All the host of heaven join our thankful song; saints, apostles, prophets, all the martyr throng; with the holy angels let his church proclaim his atoning mercy, his unrivalled name. 5 Christ be all our glory till he comes again; by his death we conquer, by his life we reign: Christ who made us welcome, Christ who calls us friends, shall receive our worship, praise that never ends.
