  • At Home in Your Hymnal Episode 45 - Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know - LSB 618 - I Come O Savior to Thy Table

    Pastor Poppe and Pastor Moline continue a series looking at the Hymns Every Lutheran Should Know.

    Today we look at a commonly sung Communion Hymn, I Come O Savior To Your Table.  

    1. I come, O Savior, to Thy Table,

    For weak and weary is my soul;
    Thou, Bread of Life, alone art able
    To satisfy and make me whole:

    REFRAIN:
    Lord, may Thy body and Thy blood
    Be for my soul the highest good!

    2. Oh, grant that I in manner worthy
    May now approach Thy heavenly Board
    And, as I lowly bow before Thee,
    Look only unto Thee, O Lord!

    3. Unworthy though I am, O Savior,
    Because I have a sinful heart,
    Yet Thou Thy lamb wilt banish never
    For Thou my faithful Shepherd art!

    4. Oh, let me loathe all sin forever
    As death and poison to my soul
    That I through wilful sinning never
    May see Thy Judgment take its toll!

    5. Thy heart is filled with fervent yearning
    That sinners may salvation see
    Who, Lord, to Thee in faith are turning;
    So I, a sinner, come to Thee.

    6. Weary am I and heavy laden,
    With sin my soul is sore opprest;
    Receive me graciously, and gladden
    My heart, for I am now Thy guest.

    7. Thou here wilt find a heart most lowly
    That humbly falls before Thy feet,
    That duly weeps o'er sin, yet solely
    Thy merit pleads, as it is meet.

    8. By faith I call Thy holy Table
    The testament of Thy deep love;
    For, lo, thereby I now am able
    To see how love Thy heart doth move.

    9. What higher gift can we inherit?
    It is faith's bond and solid base;
    It is the strength of heart and spirit,
    The covenant of hope and grace.

    10. This feast is manna, wealth abounding
    Unto the poor, to weak ones power,
    To angels joy, to hell confounding,
    And life for us in death's dark hour.

    11. Thy body, given for me, O Savior,
    Thy blood which Thou for me didst shed,
    These are my life and strength forever,
    By them my hungry soul is fed.

    12. With Thee, Lord, I am now united;
    I live in Thee and Thou in me.
    No sorrow fills my soul, delighted
    It finds its only joy in Thee.

    13. Who can condemn me now? For surely
    The Lord is nigh, who justifies.
    No hell I fear, and thus securely,
    With Jesus I to heaven rise.

    14. Though death may threaten with disaster,
    It cannot rob me of my cheer;
    For He who is of death the Master
    With aid and comfort e'er is near.

    15. My heart has now become Thy dwelling,
    O blessed Holy Trinity.
    With angels I, Thy praises telling,
    Shall live in joy eternally.
