Once More Around Thy Table, Lord
We sang this lovely hymn at the close of the Remembrance Meeting last Sunday. I meant to post it earlier in the week--but had to be reminded of it today by Craig.
Once more around Thy table, Lord, and heedful of Thy parting word,
Our hearts from earthly care set free have, in Thy death, remembered Thee.
Thyself Thou gavest, Son of God--in love to us didst shed Thy blood;
Thyself Thou gavest to fulfill the Father's own eternal will.
Thyself thou gavest: may that word rest with us now in parting, Lord,
And lead us in devotion meet to lay our lives at Thy blest feet.
Thyself Thou gavest, Lord; and we would wholly give ourselves to Thee
In simple faith and fervent love to serve Thee 'till we meet above.
~C.H von Poseck, Hymns of Worship and Remembrance #278
