Bring to this table,
bread and wine
Signs of redemption
which Christ made divine.
Soon gifts once humble
shall become
God's pledge of salvation
through Jesus His Son.
Refrain:
Raise up your heart
to our Lord present here
Give Him the gift of your love
Join in this feast
which unites man with life
And live with His peace
in your heart.
Join to these off'rings,
joys and cares
Be one with each other
and all burdens share.
Banish all hatred,
forgive ev'ry wrong;
In Christ we are brothers,
at peace we belong.
Refrain:
Raise up your heart
to our Lord present here
Give Him the gift of your love
Join in this feast
which unites man with life
And live with His peace
in your heart.
Soon in our presence,
Christ will come
To lend us the courage
which His vict'ry won.
Let hope enfold you,
trust in His care;
Prepare to receive Him
whose work we must share.
Refrain:
Raise up your heart
to our Lord present here
Give Him the gift of your love
Join in this feast
which unites man with life
And live with His peace
in your heart.
