O Bread of Life From Heaven Top Pick
Part of our Chorister Collection, our series of masterworks that are adapted for use with children or even soloists! Curated and edited by Thom Pavlechko. Bach's setting of the chorale from the St. Matthew Passion. Note that the recording is both of the version for SATB as well as the version for trebles.
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.
