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.
