This song is a new setting of a traditional
hymn. "I Come O Savior To Your Table" was written by Friedrich
Heyder and translated for use in American Lutheran congregations.
This great text points to the comfort of the grace of God given in the
bread and wine, the body and blood of the Savior. We come to him
restless, oppressed, and heavy laden, and find mercy, grace and
strength.
Jesus, oh may your body and blood
Be for my soul the highest good
Jesus, oh may your body and blood
Bring me the highest good
I come O Savior to your table
For weak and weary is my soul
You Bread of Life alone are able
To satisfy and make me whole
Restless am I and heavy laden
With sin my soul is sore oppressed
Receive me graciously and gladden
My heart that here is now your guest
Your heart is filled with fervent yearning
That I a sinner come to you
I Lord to your sure mercy turning
My ancient bond of faith renew
In hope I come to your high table
Your testament of deepest love
For by its grace I now am able
To know the heart of God above
What great gift can I inherit?
It is faith’s bonded solid base
It is the strength of heart and spirit
The covenant of hope and grace
Your body crucified O Savior
Your blood which once for me was shed
These are my life and strength forever
By them my hungry soul is fed
