Gather Around

We gather around the table and celebrate life.

Gather around, for the table is spread,
Welcome the food and rest!
Wide is our circle, with Christ at the head,
He is the honoured guest.
Learn of his love, grow in his grace,
Pray for the peace he gives;
Here at this meal, here in this place
Know that his spirit lives!
Once he was known in the breaking of bread,
Shared with a chosen few;
Multitudes gathered and by him were fed,
So will he feed us too.
