As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:11-20 Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table, as we listen to your word, help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own; teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love’s victory known. 2 Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of life; send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as you forgave; may we still behold your image in the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to share that feast where triumphant Love will welcome those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our peace destroy, as we join with saints and angels to repeat the sounding joy.

And grow it shall, our glorious sun will brighter rays afford: the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word. 3 O Father, Son, and Spirit, send us increase from above; enlarge, expand all living souls to comprehend your love; and make us all go on to know, with nobler powers conferred, that you have yet more light and truth to break forth from your word.

Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!

O what joy this knowledge gives! Now my fears of death have vanished; though its solemn hour will come, he will take me safely home. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives; likewise I to life shall waken. Endless life my Saviour gives; shall my courage then be shaken? I belong to him, my head; can he rise and leave me dead? 3 No, I am too closely bound by my hope to Christ for ever; faith's strong hand the rock has found, grasped it, and will leave it never; even death now cannot part from its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return to the dust whence I am taken; but by faith I now discern that from death I shall awaken with my Saviour to abide in his glory, at his side. 5 I shall see God with these eyes, shall behold my blessèd Saviour; I myself shall ten arise, and remain with God for ever; glorified I shall ascend to the life that has no end.
