here would I touch and han - dle things un - seen;
this is the heaven - ly ta - ble spread for me;
here drink with thee the ro - yal wine of heaven;

the feast, though not the love, is past and gone.
yet, pas - sing, points to the glad feast a - bove,

the Lamb's great bri - dal feast of bliss and love.
