AT THE LORD'S TABLE by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN

First Line: LORD, AT THY TABLE I REMEMBER THEE
Last Line: A RICHER FOOD THAN EARTHLY BREAD AND WINE.
Subject(s): BREAD; FOOD & EATING; TABLES;
LORD, at Thy table I remember Thee:
Grant Thou Thy servant grace that he may be
At other tables sweetly mindful still
Both of Thy love and of Thy holy will;
Thus shall he bring to every hearth and home,
In every land o'er which his feet may roam,
A kindness, tender, gracious, and divine,—
A richer food than earthly bread and wine.
