A Brighter Day Begins with His Word.

Watts, Isaac, 1674-1748 • SECTION 345

Hymn 3:20. The provisions for the table of our Lord; or, The tree of life, and river of love.

← Hymns and Spiritual Songs

1 Lord, we adore thy bounteous hand, And sing the solemn feast Where sweet celestial dainties stand For every willing guest.

2 [The tree of life adorns the board With rich immortal fruit, And ne'er an angry flaming sword To guard the passage to't.

3 The cup stands crown'd with living juice; The fountain flows above, And runs down streaming for our use In rivulets of love.]

4 The food's prepar'd by heavenly art, The pleasure's well refin'd, They spread new life thro' every heart, And cheer the drooping mind.

5 Shout and proclaim the Saviour's love, Ye saints that taste his wine, Join with your kindred saints above, In loud hosannas join.

6 A thousand glories to the God That gives such joy as this; Hosanna! let it sound abroad, And reach where Jesus is.
