Singing starts at 1:31 | • Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University • Berkeley, California • 5:15pm Liturgy on Friday, October 20, 2017 • 1. • We place upon your table • a gleaming cloth of white: • the weaving of our stories, • the fabric of our lives; • the dreams of those before us, • the ancient hopeful cries, • the promise of our future: • our needing and our nurture • lie here before our eyes. • Refrain. • We come to your feast, • we come to your feast: • the young and the old, • the frightened, the bold, • the greatest and the least. • We come to your feast, • we come to your feast • with the fruit of our lands • and the work of our hands, • we come to your feast. • 2. • We place upon your table • a humble loaf of bread: • the gift of field and hillside, • the grain by which we’re fed; • we come to taste the presence • of him on whom we feed, • to strengthen and connect us, • to challenge and correct us, • to love in word and deed. • Refrain. • 3. • We place upon your table • a simple cup of wine: • the fruit of human labor, • the gift of sun and vine; • we come to taste the presence • of him we claim as Lord, • his dying and his living, • his leading and his giving, • his love in cup outpoured. • Refrain. • 4. • We gather ‘round your table • we pause within our quest, • we stand beside our neighbors, • we name the stranger “guest.” • The feast is spread before us; • you bid us come and dine: • in blessing we’ll uncover, • in sharing we’ll discover • your substance and your sign.
