 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.
