The aforementioned hymn 
-
O, welcome all ye noble saints of old,
As now before your very eyes unfold
The wonders all so long ago foretold,
God and man at table are sat down,
God and man at table are sat down
Elders, martyrs, all are falling down,
Prophets, patriarchs are gathering ‘round
What angels longed to see now man has found,
God and man at table are sat down,
God and man at table are sat down
Who is this who spreads the victory feast?
Who is this who makes our warring cease?
Jesus, risen savior, prince of peace,
God and man at table are sat down,
God and man at table are sat down
Beggars, lame, and harlots also here,
Repentant publicans are drawing near,
Wayward sons come home without a fear,
God and man at table are sat down,
God and man at table are sat down
I am searching for ANY artist who recorded the hymn, “God and Man at Table Are Sat Down.” I know Travis Cottrell recorded it on a CD, but I searched Limewire and can’t find it anywhere with any search combination. Is there anyone else who might have recorded that song that you might know of?
Thanks so much.
(I really like the song, would like to download it.)

Cynthia Clawson recorded it-one of the most awesome song voices today in Christendom. I hope you can find her version of it. I live now in Japan and a lot of my household goods are still in the states. If I come across it I will get back to you.

I believe it was Craig Smith who first wrote and recorded it back around 1979-1980. I saw him perform it at the church I attended, and he said it was on his first album.

This song was actually written by Dr Robert Stamps, United Methodist Minister retired, who studied for his PHD at a UK Anglican Seminary where I met him – great song!

The only place I have found it is this website. You can listen to the entire song, but you can’t download the it. You can only purchase the CD and have it shipped. It’s on the “Beloved Deciple – Music CD”. The person singing the song on the CD is fantastic! Totally worth it! However, Travis Cottrell is the arranger, not the writer.
Here’s the web address:

Just thougth I’d add another verse for you:
When at last this earth shall pass away,
When Jesus and his bride are one to stay,
The feast of love is just begun that day,
God and man at table are sat down,
God and man at table are sat down.

Oops, I forgot one! I think this comes before the other one I posted:
Worship in the presence of the Lord,
With joyful songs and hearts in one accord.
Let our host at table be adored.
God and man at table are sat down.
God and man at table are sat down.

My wife and I found this song in a chorus book several years ago, but have since misplaced the book. We love the song and would like to introduce it to our current congregation. I would like to find a music score, preferably for piano.

Hi Steven,
Try this website: http://www.hymnprint.net, where you can preview the melody line and lyrics and purchase a pdf. In that version however, it’s called “In christ there is a table set for all”. Search for this title on the website and you’ll find it.

David Stearman composed God and Man at Table Are Sat Down, while a student at Oral Roberts University in the early 1970s (perhaps in 1971).
Brother Bob (Bob Stamps, ORU’s campus chaplain at the time) wrote at least some of the lyrics; David may have contributed some as well.
I remember singing this wonderful song during Sunday evening Vespers services, held in the campus cafeteria.

My father Dr. Robert J. Stamps wrote and composed this song during his time as chaplain at ORU. Along with the assistance of David Stearman who wrote down the music to dads tune on paper and also improved it.David may have helped imrove the lyrics as well but really I don’t know. Recently found out that the song was a favorite of the late Pope John Paul and was sung during at least one papel mass. Later.

i did write the words and music of the song, but david stearman enhanced my tune significantly/beautifully. it was written in 1972, first published by the ‘word of god’ roman catholic community, u of MI. here is a specifically eucharistic verse i wrote in 1980: ‘here he gives himself to us as bread; here, as wine, we drink the blood he shed. born to die, we eat and live instead, god and man at table are sat down.’ the hymn is included in the roman catholic ‘gather’ hymnal as ‘in christ there is a table set for all.’ again, david stearman and i collaborated to find a more gender appropriate title. may god bless the hymn’s singing til ‘at last this earth shall pass away.’

Hallo ……
I got to know the song during my time with the “Mother of God” Community in
Maryland 1979.
Now I have a wonderful choir here in Germany and I would like it very, very much to sing this Song with my choir in our messes.
But I cannot find a music notation for a choir (S/A/T/B).
Can somebody help us ???

Rev. Stamps: We are doing a Lord’s Supper re-enactment and would like to use your song “God and Man at Table are Sat Down.” I note that you said it was in the Gather hymnal as “In Christ there Is a Table Set for All.” (July 12, 2010) Are there any other available published versions we could purchase.
Thank you.

Bob,
I was looking for this song, in order to use it for Sunday, serendipitously finding your comments in the thread.
I wonder if you remember my mother, Joan Eaton, who was working in the ORU library while you were there. My father, too, who was the Episcopal chaplain to the various hospitals in Tulsa, especially for those coming to the hospitals from out of town.
