Welcome to the Lord’s Table. Matt. 26. 26-28

1 This is the feast of heavenly wine,
  And God invites to sup;
  The juices of the living Vine
  Were pressed to fill the cup.

2 O bless the Saviour, ye that eat,
  With royal dainties fed;
  Not heaven affords a costlier treat,
  For Jesus is the bread.

3 The vile, the lost, he calls to them.
  Ye trembling souls appear;
  The righteous, in their own esteem.
  Have no acceptance here.

4 Approach, ye poor, nor dare refuse
  The banquet spread for you;
  Dear Saviour, this is welcome news,
  Then I may venture too.

5 If guilt and sin afford a plea,
  And may obtain a place,
  Surely the Lord will welcome me,
  And I shall see his face.
