1. The tree of life, how sweet the fruit,
  With God as life complete.
  I once was dead, but now I live,
  Was staved, but now I eat.
2. 'Twas God that brought me to the tree,
  With Christ Himself as meat;
  How precious did that tree become
  When I began to eat.
3. The Lord Himself is food to me,
  He is my life supply;
  He will my pure enjoyment be,
  None else can satisfy.
4. I freely eat this living tree,
  For eating is the way
  To put God's life inside of me,
  To live by Him today.
