Jesus, Lord, we know Thee present

					8.7.8.7.D

1	Jesus, Lord, we know Thee present
	At Thy table freshly spread,
	Seated at Thy priceless banquet
	With Thy banner overhead.
	Precious moments at Thy table,
	From all fear and doubt set free;
	Here to rest, so sweetly able,
	Occupied alone with Thee.
	
2	Here rejoicing in Thy nearness,
	Gladly by Thy Spirit led;
	Calmly in the blest remembrance
	Of Thy precious  blood once shed.
	Lord, we take each simple token
	In fond memory of Thee,
	Muse upon Thy body broken
	And Thy blood shed on the tree.

3	Oh, what joy it is to see Thee,
	In these emblems gathered here;
	In the bread and wine of blessing—
	Bread to strengthen, wine to cheer!
	Lord, behold us met together,
	Members of our risen Head,
	Thus to take the cup of blessing,
	Thus to share the broken bread.


4	Lord, we know how true Thy promise
	To be with us where we meet,
	When in Thy loved name we gather
	To enjoy communion sweet;
	Dearer still that looked-for promise
	To each waiting, yearning heart,
	That we soon  will be with Thee, Lord,
	And forever  where Thou art.
