Jesus, we thus obey thy last and kindest word; here in thine own appointed way we come to meet thee, Lord. Our hearts we open wide to make the Saviour room; and lo, the Lamb, the Crucified, the sinner's friend, is come. Thy presence makes the feast; now let our spirits feel thy glory not to be expressed, the joy unspeakable. With high and heavenly bliss thou dost our spirits cheer; thy house of banqueting is this and thou hast brought us here. Now let our souls be fed with manna from above, and over us thy banner spread of everlasting love.
