JESUS SPREADS HIS BANNER OVER US
1. Jesus spreads
His banner o'er 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.
2. In Thy holy
incarnation,
When the angels
sang Thy birth;
In Thy fasting and
temptation,
In Thy labors on
the earth,
In Thy trial and
rejection,
In Thy suff'rings
on the tree,
In Thy glorious
resurrection,
May we, Lord,
remember Thee.
