Sweet feast of Love Divine

Sweet feast of love divine!
your grace, Lord, makes us free
to feed upon the bread and wine,
remembering Calvary.

2. Here every welcome guest
waits, Lord, from you to learn
the Father’s heart made manifest,
and all your grace discern.

3. Here conscience ends its strife,
and faith delights to prove
the sweetness of the Bread of life,
the fulness of your love.

4. The blood that flowed for sin
in symbol here we see,
and feel the gracious pledge within:
you love us changelessly.

5. But if this glimpse of love
is so divinely sweet,
what will it be, O Lord, above,
your gladdening smile to meet!

6. To see you face to face,
your perfect likeness wear,
and all your ways of wondrous grace
through endless years declare!
