What A Banquet

"What A Banquet" is a joyful and rhythmic Communion anthem that celebrates the Eucharist not just as a solemn sacrifice, but as a grand, heavenly feast. With its lively, repeating refrain of "merrily, merrily, merrily," the song captures the profound happiness of being invited to the Lord's table. It reminds the congregation that receiving the Body and Blood of Christ is a true privilege, a moment of spiritual nourishment that satisfies our deepest hunger and thirst.

Choirs will find this piece especially fitting for Communion during festive Masses, such as the Feast of Corpus Christi, Eastertide, or parish anniversaries. The interwoven vocal parts and the dance-like repetition of "what a merry, merry" create an atmosphere of celebration in the choir loft and the pews alike. It beautifully echoes the scriptural promise that those who eat of His body and drink of His blood will have eternal life, turning the Communion procession into a true march of thanksgiving.
