O Jesus Lord
when present at Thy table
And on the bread and on the wine we gaze;
We praise Thee
Lord
that Thou as food art able
To be enjoyed by man in many ways.
So all our being sings in praise to Thee
How small Thou art
how small Thou art!
And Thee we’ll eat through all eternity;
O what a shame—when Christ with all His riches
Has come into the world
life to supply—
That man would live
not by Him
but by teachings
So powerless these riches to apply.
But all we need to do is eat the Lord;
He’s marvelous
He’s wonderful!
And as we eat
we’re inwardly restored;
Christ grows in us
grows to the full.
O Jesus Christ
Thou camest not to mankind
To be a king
to rule us outwardly.
But Thou hast come as food to satisfy us
And by Thy life to guide us inwardly.
(First chorus)
for all Thy glorious grandeur
For all Thy strength and majesty replete;
And yet
O Lord
what special thanks we give Thee
That all Thou art is small enough to eat.
