Stanza 6 calls us to taste and see of the goodness of Christ at the Lord’s Table, a prominent theme in confessional statements about the Lord’s Table, such as Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Days 28-30, Questions and Answers 75-82 and Belgic Confession, Article 35.
Stanza 7 speaks of our hope of eternal life. How beautiful to match up these words with Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 22, Question and Answer 58, “…after this life I will have perfect blessedness such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no human heart has ever imagined; a blessedness in which to praise God forever.”
