<p>O living Bread from heaven,<br>
How hast Thou fed Thy guest!<br>
The gifts Thou now hast given<br>
Have filled my heart with rest.<br>
O wondrous food of blessing,<br>
O cup that heals our woes,<br>
My heart, this gift possessing,<br>
In thankful song o&#8217;erflows!
<p>My Lord, Thou here hast led me<br>
Within Thy holiest place,<br>
And there Thyself hast fed me<br>
With treasures of Thy grace;<br>
And Thou hast freely given<br>
What earth could never buy,<br>
The Bread of Life from heaven,<br>
That now I shall not die.</p>
<p>Thou givest all I wanted,<br>
The food can death destroy;<br>
And Thou has freely granted<br>
The cup of endless joy.<br>
And Lord, I do not merit<br>
The favor Thou hast shown,<br>
And all my soul and spirit<br>
Bow down before Thy throne.</p>
<p>Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened<br>
With heavenly food, while here<br>
My course on earth is lengthened,<br>
I serve with holy fear;<br>
And when Thou call&#8217;st my spirit<br>
To leave this world below,<br>
I enter, through Thy merit,<br>
Where joys unmingled flow.</p>
