Author: Ray Palmer (1808-87) Hymnal: HfC1974 #20 (1974) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Bread to pilgrims given,
O Food that angels eat,
O Manna sent from heaven,
For heav'n-bom 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 Fountain, purely flowing
Forth from that sacred heart,
Our Saviour's grace bestowing,
True wine of life thou art.
O let us, freely tasting,
Our spirits' thirst assuage;
Thy goodness, 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, death the veil removing,
Thy glorious face to see. Topics: Holy Communion At the Communion Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE
