Author: Edward Osler, 1768-1863 Hymnal: EH1982 #332 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near,
thy presence may we feel;
and thus inspired with holy fear,
before thine altar kneel.
2 Here may thy faithful people know
the blessings of thy love,
the streams that through the desert flow,
the manna from above.
3 We come, obedient to thy word,
to feast on heavenly food;
our meat the Body of the Lord,
our drink his precious Blood.
4 Thus may we all thy word obey,
for we, O God, are thine;
and go rejoicing on our way,
renewed with strength divine. Topics: Holy Eucharist Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
