| Text: | Bread of the World in Mercy Broken |
| Author: | Reginald Heber |
| Tune: | EUCHARISTIC HYMN |
| Composer: | John S. B. Hodges |
1 Bread of the world in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul in mercy shed,
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose death our sins are dead:
2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be Thy feast to us the token
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.
Amen.
