As He Gathered at His Table
Author: Paul A. Richardson Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal First Line: As He gathered at His table Lyrics: 1 As He gathered at His table
those who longed to know the way,
Christ proclaimed a holy mystery;
still His words call us today.
2 As He took the towel and basin,
not as master, but as friend,
Christ portrayed the way of service;
still in serving we must bend.
3 As He blessed the bread and broke it,
human need to satisfy,
Christ made even traitors welcome;
still we question, "Is it I?"
4 As He took the cup and shared it,
telling of the Father's care,
Christ poured out Himself in promise;
still that covenant we must share.
5 As they sang a hymn together,
praising Israel's saving King,
hearts and voices made one music;
still delivering love we sing.
6 As He went into the garden
praying, "Father, use Your Son,"
Christ alone could know its meaning;
still we pray, "God's will be done."
7 Though this feast be one of symbols,
what we celebrate is real;
still Christ welcomes to His table;
still Christ serves us at His meal. Topics: The Church at Worship Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ-Life and Ministry; Lord's Supper; Ministry Scripture: Matthew 26:26-30 Used With Tune: STUART
