This hymn titled "Table of Plenty" is composed by one of my favorite church music composers, Dan Schutte. The hymn has such a chirpy and vibrant vibe to it! It has very meaningful lyrics and a perfectly accompanying melody.
It's been a while now that I've have been wanting to teach the kids from the children's choir the same. But I've always been skeptical about it, since it's not-so-easy a tune, especially when the choir breaks into voices.
This year our parish priest gave the Chidren's Choir an opportunity to sing for the Maundy Thursday service. The kids were so very excited and motivated and their excitement rubbed onto me as well! I finally mustered the courage to teach them the hymn.
The trick to conquering a problem , is breaking it into smaller bits, and solving them one at a time and that is exactly what I did. I initially thought I'd have them sing the chorus in unison, and have a soloist do each of the verses. However, they were so eager to learn, and so enthusiastic about it that they actually sang it exactly as is done in the track below! What a proud moment that was, to see them so involved in their singing! Above is a picture of the choir, during the practice session just before mass.Thank you E for this picture!

Here are the lyrics
Table of Plenty
Ch : Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.
Ch : Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.
O come and sit at my table
where saints and sinners are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost and lonely
to share the cup of my love.
where saints and sinners are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost and lonely
to share the cup of my love.
O come and eat without money;
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness will feed your spirit
with faith and fullness of life.
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness will feed your spirit
with faith and fullness of life.
My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness
to flood the depths of your soul.
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness
to flood the depths of your soul.
Your fields will flower in fullness;
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest,
will send my rain on the soil.
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest,
will send my rain on the soil.
