<p>My God, and is Thy table spread,<br>
And does Thy cup with love o&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s board,<br>
The pleasures or the profit end.</p>
