1.	Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, 
	leave the gloomy haunts of sadness.
	Come into the daylight's splendor; 
	there with joy thy praises render 
	unto Christ, whose grace unbounded 
	hath this wondrous banquet founded. 
	High o'er all the heavens he reigneth, 
	yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. 

2.	Sun, who all my life dost brighten; 
	Light, who dost my soul enlighten; 
	Joy, the best that any knoweth; 
	Fount, whence all my being floweth; 
	at thy feet I cry, my Maker, 
	let me be a fit partaker 
	of this blessed food from heaven, 
	for our good, thy glory, given. 

3.	Jesus, bread of life, I pray thee, 
	let me gladly here obey thee;
	never to my hurt invited, 
	be thy love with love requited. 
	From this banquet let me measure, 
	Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; 
	through the gifts thou here dost give me, 
	as thy guest in heaven receive me.
