Composer: | Samuel P. Warren |
1 O Bread of life from heaven,
To saints and angels given,
O Manna from above!
The souls that hunger, feed Thou,
The hearts that seek Thee, lead Thou,
With Thy sweet, tender love.
2 O fount of grace redeeming,
O river ever streaming
From Jesus' holy side!
Come Thou, Thyself bestowing
On thirsting souls, and flowing
Till all are satisfied.
3 Jesus, this feast receiving,
Thy word of truth believing,
We Thee unseen adore!
Grant, when the veil is rended,
That we, to heaven ascended,
May see Thee evermore.
Amen.
