At the great feast of God

Verse 1
At the great feast of God
Delighted I sit down,
And eat the flesh, and drink the blood
Of thine eternal Son:
I more than taste and see
How full of grace Thou art:
I sup with Christ, and Christ with me,
And heaven o’reflows my heart.

Verse 2
Angels the banquet share,
Thy family above
More happy, more triumphant are
Thro’ thy redeeming love:
My joy doth theirs increase,
Exalts their raptures higher,
O’rewhelms with mightier extasies
The whole transported quire.
