Jesus Spreads His Banner o’er Us

lyricist: Roswell Park, 1836
Composer: François Barthélémon, 1785

Jesus spreads his ban­ner o’er us

Cheers our fam­ished souls with food;

He the ban­quet spreads be­fore us

Of His mys­tic flesh and blood.

Precious ban­quet

bread of Heav­en

Wine of glad­ness

flow­ing free;

May we taste it

kind­ly giv­en

In re­mem­brance

Lord

of Thee.

In Thy ho­ly in­car­na­tion

When the an­gels sang Thy birth;

In Thy fast­ing and temp­ta­tion

In Thy la­bors on the earth

In Thy tri­al and re­ject­ion

In Thy suf­fer­ings on the tree

In Thy glo­ri­ous re­sur­rect­ion

May we

Lord

re­mem­ber Thee.
