1 Invited, Lord, by boundless grace,
I stand a guest before Thy face;
As host Thou spreadst no common food;
Here is Thy body and Thy blood!
I stand a guest before Thy face;
As host Thou spreadst no common food;
Here is Thy body and Thy blood!
2 How holy is this Sacrament,
Where pardon, peace, and life are spent!
This bread and cup my lips have pressed,
Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed.
Where pardon, peace, and life are spent!
This bread and cup my lips have pressed,
Thou blessedst, and my soul is blessed.
3 Now lettest Thou Thy guest depart
With full assurance in his heart;
For such communion, Lord, with Thee
A new life may my offering be.
With full assurance in his heart;
For such communion, Lord, with Thee
A new life may my offering be.
