1 Thy table I approach,
Dear Savior, hear my prayer,
O let no unrepented sin
Prove hurtful to me there.
2 Lo, I confess my sins
And mourn their wretched bands;
A contrite heart is ever wont
To find grace at Thy hands.
3 Thy body and Thy blood,
Once slain and shed for me,
Are taken at Thy table here--
O wondrous mystery!
4 Ask not how this takes place,
Nor whether it can be;
God can accomplish vastly more
Than seemeth plain to thee.
5 O may I never fail
To thank Thee day and night
For Thy true body and true blood,
O God, my peace and light.
Amen.
