Author: Gerhard Walther Molanus; Anon. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #270 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Thy Table I approach;
Dear Savior, hear my pray'r,
O let no unrepented sin
Prove hurtful to me there.
2 Lo, I confess my sins,
And mourn their wretched bands:
A contrite heart is ever wont
To find grace at Thy hands.
3 Thy body and Thy blood,
Once slain and shed for me,
Are taken at Thy table here—
O wondrous mystery!
4 Here I with mouth and soul,
Incomprehensibly,
Shall eat the precious flesh of Christ
In blest reality.
5 Search not how this takes place,
Nor whether it can be;
God can accomplish vastly more
Than seemeth plain to thee.
6 Vouchsafe, O blessed Lord,
That earth and hell combined,
May ne'er about this Sacrament
A doubt raise in my mind.
7 And may I never fail,
To thank Thee day and night,
For Thy true body and true blood,
O God, my peace and light. Topics: The Catechism Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
