Jesus Spreads His Banner O'er Us
G C G
Jesus spreads his banner o’er us,
D G D
Cheers our famished souls with food;
G C G
He the banquet spreads before us,
C G/D D7 G
Of His mystic flesh and blood.
Precious banquet, bread of heaven,
D G C A9/C Dsus4 D7
Wine of gladness, flowing free;
G C G
May we taste it, kindly given,
C G/D D7 G
In remembrance, Lord, of Thee.
In Thy holy incarnation,
When the angels sang Thy birth;
In Thy fasting and temptation,
In Thy labours on the earth,
In Thy trial and rejection,
In Thy sufferings on the tree,
In Thy glorious resurrection,
May we, Lord, remember Thee.
