<p>My God, and is Thy table spread,<br>
|
|
And does Thy cup with love o’erflow?<br>
|
|
Thither be all Thy children led,<br>
|
|
And let them all its sweetness know.</p>
|
|
<p>Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes,<br>
|
|
Rich banquet of His flesh and blood!<br>
|
|
Thrice happy he who here partakes<br>
|
|
That sacred stream, that heav’nly food!</p>
|
|
<p>Why are its bounties all in vain<br>
|
|
Before unwilling hearts displayed?<br>
|
|
Was not for the Victim slain?<br>
|
|
Are we forbid the children’s bread?</p>
|
|
<p>O let Thy table honored be,<br>
|
|
And furnished well with joyful guests;<br>
|
|
And may each soul salvation see,<br>
|
|
That here its sacred pledges tastes!</p>
|
|
<p>Let crowds approach, with hearts prepared;<br>
|
|
With warm desire let all attend;<br>
|
|
Nor, when we leave our Father’s board,<br>
|
|
The pleasures or the profit end.</p>
