Jesus spreads his banner o’er us,

He the banquet spreads before us,
C      G/D    D7        G
Of His mystic flesh and blood.

Precious banquet, bread of heaven,

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,

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.
