600. Great God, We Praise Thy Gracious Care

1 Great God, we praise Thy gracious care,
Which does our daily bread prepare;
O bless the earthly food we take,
And feed our souls for Jesus' sake.

2 We thank Thee, Lord, for this our food,
For life and health, and ev'ry good:
May manna to our souls be giv'n,
The Bread of Life, sent down from heav'n.
