* 1.1BEhold the King of Glory sits
* 1.2At Table with his Guests:
Welcomes them all with gracious Smiles,
Them all with Dainties feasts.

No common Food he here presents,
* 1.3No common Drink provides:
For Meat he gives his Flesh; for Wine
* 1.4The Spear his Heart divides.

LORD, give us Faith; let not our Thoughts
* 1.5Be limited by Sense:
Thee in thy Myst'ries let's discern,
And draw new Joys from thence.

Let's know thy broken Body was* 1.6
An Offering for our Guilt;
Let's know, to wash us from our Sins
Thy Heart's pure Blood was spilt.

So shall our Minds and Voices join* 1.7
In Sacred Harmony,
To celebrate thy Praise, and sing
Hallelujah to Thee.
