O Bread to pilgrims given,

|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | Jesus, this feast receiving, |
| | We Thee unseen adore; |
| | Thy faithful word believing, |
| | We take, and doubt no more. |
| | Give us, Thou true and loving, |
| | On earth to live in Thee; |
| | Then, God the veil removing, |
| | Thy glorious face to see. |
