Lyrics

O Bread of life from heave, to weary pilgrims given, O Manna from above:
The souls that hunger feed Thou,
The hearts that seek Thee lead Thou,
With Thy most sweet and tender love.

O Fount of grace redeeming, O River ever streaming from Jesus' wounded side:
Come Thou, Thyself bestowing
On thirsting souls, and flowing
Till all their wants are satisfied.

Jesus, this feast receiving, Thy word of truth believing, Unseen, we love, adore:
Grant when our race is ended,
That we, to heaven ascended,
May see Thy glory evermore.
