1 When we gather at the table
wine is poured and bread is broken.
Then love claims us, offering healing,
we hear welcome, gently spoken.

2 Jesus offers our thanksgiving
blessing God for life we're given.
From the earth comes grain to feed us
watered by the rains of heaven.

3 Word of promise claims attention
earth renewed by God's designing.
All the creatures join in praises--
God's intended wholeness finding.

4 Come, invited, now draw nearer,
join this holy celebration.
Here be strengthened, called to justice,
living now God's new creation.

5 Christ, your coming and your hosting
gives us place at widening table
now embracing world and neighbor
Spirit strong, by love enabled.
