O Lord, How Can It Be

1 O Lord, how can it be
that I may come to eat with thee
this sacred heavenly food?

2 My robe is marked with sin;
how can I come thy courts within
to eat and drink with God?

3 O Lord, by faith I see
that thou didst give thyself for me,
to cleanse my soul from sin.

4 In this sweet morning hour,
O seal on me thy cleansing power
that I may holy be.

5 And then with heart full free
I reach my hand to eat with thee,
in oneness with my God.

Amen.
