EN 2723 My God, and Is Thy Table Spread

Mal.1.12

Versi Version 1

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 heav’nly food!

3

Why are its bounties all in vain

Before unwilling hearts displayed?

Was not for the Victim slain?

Are we forbid the children’s bread?

4

O let Thy table honored be,

And furnished well with joyful guests;

And may each soul salvation see,

That here its sacred pledges tastes!

5

Let crowds approach, with hearts prepared;

With warm desire let all attend;

Nor, when we leave our Father’s board,

The pleasures or the profit end.
