A Communion Hymn For Christmas / Gathered ‘Round Your Table On This Holy Eve [#CommunionHymnForChristmas #GatheredRoundYourTable #OnThisHolyEve]
Song written by:
Original in English: Margaret Clarkson
1
Gathered ‘round your table on this holy eve
Viewing Bethlehem’s stable we rejoice and grieve
Joy to see you lying in your manger bed
Weep to see you dying in our sinful stead
2
Prince of glory gracing heav’n ere time began
Now for us embracing death as son of man
By your birth so lovely by your love so true
By your cross most holy Lord we worship you
3
Bethlehem’s incarnation Calvary’s bitter cross
Wrought for us salvation by your pain and loss
Now we fall before you in this holy place
Prostrate we adore you for your gift of grace
4
With profoundest wonder we your body take
laid in manger yonder broken for our sake
Hushed in adoration we approach the cup
Bethlehem’s pure oblation freely offered up
