The Lord of life this table spread,
by Isaac Watts·1814·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)
Based on Luke 22:19; 1 Cor 11:24,25
1
The Lord of life this table spread,
With his own flesh and dying blood;
We on the rich provision feed,
And taste the wine, and bless our God.
2
May sinful sweets be all forgot,
And earth grow less in our esteem;
Christ and his love fill every thought,
And faith and hope be fixed on him.
