Author: John Mauburn, 1460-1503; John Macleod Campbell Crum, 1872-1958 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #613 (2010) Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 O Lord Jesus, I adore thee
for the bread of worth untold
freely given in thy communion,
wonderful a thousandfold,
given today in loving bounty
more than my poor heart can hold.
2 Make thou of my soul an orchard
quickened into fruitfulness;
come, O come, life-giving Manna,
making glad my wilderness:
sweeter far than any sweetness
tongue can taste or words express.
PART TWO -
3 Ah, Lord Jesus go not from me,
stay, ah, stay with me, my Lord;
make me shrink from whatsoever
will not with thy name accord;
act through me in every action,
speak through me in every word.
4 Would that I could keep thee always
in mine inmost heart to be,
thou and only thou suggesting
every thought and wish in me;
all my soul, with singing, offered
for a sacrifice to thee. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: ST THOMAS (TRADITIONAL)
