327. Jesus, Master of the feast

1 Jesus, Master of the feast,
The feast itself Thou art:
Now receive Thy every guest,
And comfort every heart.
Give us living bread to eat,
Manna that from heaven comes down;
See us waiting at Thy feet,
And make Thy favor known.

2 In this earthly wilderness
Thou hast a table spread,
Richly filled with every grace
Our fainting souls can need:
Still sustain us by Thy love,
Still Thy servants' strength repair,
Till we reach Thy courts above,
And feast forever there.

Amen.
