Gloria Deo ‎#530

530. Jesus Spreads His Banner O'er Us

1 Jesus spreads his banner o’er us,
Cheers our famished souls with food;
He the banquet spreads before us,
Of His mystic flesh and blood.

2 Precious banquet, bread of heaven,
Wine of gladness, flowing free;
May we taste it, kindly given,
In remembrance, Lord, of Thee!

3 In Thy trial and rejection,
In Thy suff’rings on the tree,
In Thy glorious resurrection;
May we, Lord, remember Thee!
