O Bread to pilgrims given (revised)

O Bread to pilgrims given

O Food for saints to eat

O Manna sent from heaven

For heav’n-born natures meet;

Give us

for Thee long pining

To eat till richly filled;

Till

earth’s delights resigning

Our every wish is stilled.

O Water

life bestowing

From out the Savior’s heart

A fountain purely flowing

A fount of love Thou art.

Oh

let us

freely tasting

Our burning thirst assuage;

Thy sweetness

never wasting

Avails from age to age.

We eat Thee

drink

enjoy Thee

With worship

gratitude.

In Word and Spirit taste Thee

Thy love’s vast plenitude.

Keep us upon Thee feeding

To live by Thee sustained.

Thy full-grown stature reaching

Thy full expression gained.
