Wisdom has Built Herself a Home Lyrics

Ant 1: Wisdom has built herself a home

She has prepared her table, has brought forth her wine

And she calls her children.

Ant 2: Come and eat of my bread, and drink of my wine,

Come to the feast I prepared for you.

1. They have come from the Eastern and Western Lands.

Gathered around your table At the feast of the kingdom.

Antiphon 2:

2. Bread of heaven is the food that is offered here,

Bread soon to be Your body

Which is the cause for eternal life.

Antiphon 2:

3. Living bread that the Father has given to us,

Food for our Paschal feasting,

Sign of the Promise renewed once more.

Antiphon 2:

4. Cup of wine poured to cheer every troubled heart,

Free us from every sadness,

Blood of Christ our redeeming wine.

Antiphon 2: & 1

5. By your love we are drawn into unity,

Singing our joyous praises,

While remembering Your tender care.

Antiphon 2:

6. To Your table the poor and the humble come,

Bearing their pain and sorrow

And in mercy You dry their tears.

Antiphon 2: & 1

7. In my presence You ready Your feast, O Lord

Blest with Your saving graces

They are happy whom You invited.

Antiphon 2:

8. Leave us all to Your glorious kingdom Lord,

Open the gates of heaven

Bringing all to eternal peace.

Antiphon: 2&1&2
