Fountain of All the Good We See

Fountain of all the good we see

Streaming from Heav’n ab­ove

Savior! our faith we act on Thee

And ex­er­cise our love.

’Tis not the out­ward food we eat

Doth this new strength af­ford

’Tis Thou

whose pre­sence makes it meat

Thou the life-giv­ing Word.

Man doth not live by bread alone

Whate’er Thou wilt can feed;

Thy pow­er con­verts the bread to stone

And turns the stone to bread.

Thou art our food: we taste Thee now

In Thee we move and breathe

Our bo­dies’ on­ly life art Thou

And all be­sides is death!
