Bring the bread, bring the wine, raise the cup of compassion! Bring our thanksgiving hearts and our songs! Gather all colors and kinds, seeking, doubting and faithful— set this table where each one belongs! Bring our young, bring our old, bring our hungry and lonely, bring our limping, our deaf and our blind; here the strong learn from the weak, here the children are nourished, set the table for all humankind! Bring our hopes, bring our joys, leave our fears and our failures, let our living be lightened by grace; freed to serve, see a new world, keeping Christ at the center, set the table where all have a place!
