Lyrics

From the ta­ble now re­tir­ing
Which for us the Lord hath spread,
May our souls, re­fresh­ment find­ing,
Grow in all things like our Head.

His ex­am­ple while be­hold­ing
May our lives His im­age bear;
Him our Lord and Mas­ter call­ing,
His com­mands may we rev­ere.

Love to God and man dis­play­ing,
Walking stead­fast in His way,
Joy at­tend us in be­liev­ing,
Peace from God, through end­less day.
