Jesus Spreads His Banner Over Us

Jesus Spreads His Banner Over 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 Labours On The Earth,
In Thy Trial And Rejection,
In Thy Sufferings On The Tree,
In Thy Glorious Resurrection,
May We, Lord, Remember Thee.

While The Sons Of Earth Retiring,
From The Sacred Temple Roam;
Lord, Thy Light And Love Desiring,
To Thine Altar Fain We Come.
Children Of Our Heavenly Father,
Friends And Brethren We Would Be;
While We Round Thy Table Gather,
May Our Hearts Be One In Thee.
