Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #508 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we thus obey
your last and kindest word;
here, in your own appointed way,
we come to meet you, Lord.
2 Our hearts we open wide,
to make the Saviour room;
for now the Lamb, the crucified,
the sinners' friend has come.
3 Your presence makes the feast;
now let our spirits feel
the glory not to be expressed,
the joy unspeakable.
4 With high and heavenly bliss
you now our spirits cheer;
your house of banqueting is this,
and you have brought us here.
5 Now let our souls be fed
with manna from above,
and over us your banner spread
of everlasting love. Topics: Joy; Mystery of God's Love; Personal Response to Jesus; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Evangelist Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: ST AUGUSTINE
