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."

"Be Present at Our Table, Lord"

The second line of "Be Present at Our Table, Lord" is "Be here and ev'rywhere adored," sung to this phrase from the tune "Old Hundredth":

The three syllables of "ev'rywhere" are each sung to a different pitch (A G C), musically giving a sense of breadth.
