From Stable to Table

Down from the splendors of Heaven to the lowliness of a stable,

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, God’s Lamb lay in a manger cradle.

His destiny ordained, Heaven’s loss, mankind to save, through a cross.

From the lowly stable, to sitting with his disciples around the table:

Do this to remember my blood and body given for Man’s sin.

Do it often as ye will and do it until we are together again.

Matthew 1:21, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
