1. Author of life divine, 
You have a table spread,

Furnished with mystic wine 
And everlasting bread,

Preserve the life that You have giv’n,

Preserve the life that You have giv’n,

And feed and train us up for Heaven.

2. Our needy souls sustain 
With fresh supplies of love,
Till all Your life we gain, 
And all Your fullness prove,
And, strengthened by Your perfect grace,
Strengthened by Your perfect grace,

Behold without a veil Your face.

3. Author of life divine, 
Who loves us all our days,

Fill us with Your new wine 
And everlasting praise,

Lord, take us from this holy place

Take us from this holy place

To bless the earth with heaven’s grace.
