Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and Bless

Shepherd of souls

re­fresh and bless

Thy chos­en pil­grim flock

With man­na in the wil­der­ness

With wa­ter from the rock.

Hungry and thirs­ty

faint and weak

As Thou when here be­low

Our souls the joys ce­les­ti­al seek

Which from Thy sor­rows flow.

We would not live by bread alone

But by Thy Word of grace

In strength of which we tra­vel on

To our abid­ing place.

Be known to us in break­ing bread

But do not then de­part;

Savior

abide with us

and spread

Thy ta­ble in our heart.

Lord

sup with us in love di­vine;

Thy body and Thy blood

That liv­ing bread

that heav’n­ly wine

Be our im­mor­tal food.
