Hymns of the Lutheran Church

287 O Bread of life from heaven,

1 O Bread of life from heaven, To weary pilgrims given, O Manna from above: The souls that hunger feed Thou, The hearts that seek Thee lead Thou, With Thy most sweet and tender love. 2 O Fount of grace redeeming, O River ever streaming From Jesus' holy side: Come Thou, Thyself bestowing On thirsting souls, and flowing Till all their wants are satisfied. 3 Jesus, this feast receiving, Thy word of truth believing, We Thee unseen adore: Grant, when our race is ended, That we, to heaven ascended, May see Thy glory evermore.
