One un­di­vid­ed bread.
The words of life I give;
O Word made flesh, whom we ad­ore,
The hid­den man­na give.

To each long­ing spir­it low­ly

Eat all of ye and live.
Whose won­drous pass­ion here shown forth
In us vouch­safe to be;
’Tis He, the heav­en­ly man­na,
Here the King hath spread His ta­ble,
