LSB #775 "Be Present at Our Table, Lord"

Biblical citations in the hymnal:  Psalm 145:15-16, Revelation 19:9, Isaiah 25:6

Psalm 145:15-16:  "15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season.  16 You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.  17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works."

Revelation 19:9:  "And the angel said to me, 'Write this:  Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'  And he said to me, 'These are the true words of God.'"

Isaiah 25:6:  "On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined."

Be present at our table, Lord;
Be here and ev'rywhere adored;
Thy creatures bless, and grant that we
May feast in paradise with Thee.

The passage from Psalm 145 seems to appear in "Thy creatures bless," although there's also some overlap with Revelation 19:9.

"The marriage supper of the Lamb" from Revelation 19:9 and the "feast" in Isaiah 25:6 are combined in "grant that we / May feast in paradise with Thee."
