The True Bread
Hymnal: Laudes Domini #1038 (1884) First Line: True Bread of life, in pitying mercy given Lyrics: 1 True Bread of life, in pitying mercy given,
Long famished souls to strengthen and to feed;
Christ Jesus, Son of God, true Bread of heaven,
Thy flesh is meat, thy blood is drink indeed.
2 I cannot famish, though this earth should fail,
Though life through all its fields should pine and die;
Though the sweet verdure should forsake each vale,
And every stream of every land run dry.
3 True Tree of Life! Of thee I eat and live,
Who eateth of thy fruit shall never die;
’Tis thine the everlasting health to give,
The youth and bloom of immortality.
4 Feeding on thee all weakness turns to power,
This sickly soul revives, like earth in spring;
Strength floweth on and in, each buoyant hour,
This being seems all energy, all wing.
5 Jesus, our dying, buried, risen Head,
Thy church’s Life and Lord, Immanuel!
At thy dear cross we find the eternal bread,
And in thy empty tomb the living well. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERTON
