Verse 1
I come, O Savior, to Thy table, For
weak and weary is my soul; Thou, Bread of Life, alone art
able To satisfy and make me whole:
Verse 2
Oh, grant that I in manner worthy May
now approach Thy heav'nly board And, as I lowly bow before
fore Thee, Look only unto Thee, O Lord!
Verse 3
Unworthy though I am, O Savior, Because
cause I have a sinful heart, Yet Thou Thy lamb wilt banish
never, For Thou my faithful Shepherd art:
Verse 4
Oh, let me loathe all sin forever As
death and poison to my soul That I through willful sinning
never May see Thy judgment take its toll!
Verse 5
Thy heart is filled with fervent yearning That
sinners may salvation see Who, Lord, to Thee in faith are
turning; So I, a sinner, come to Thee.
Chorus
Lord, may Thy body and Thy blood Be for my soul the highest good!
