1. O Food to pilgrims given,

O Bread of life from heaven,

O Manna from on high!

We hunger, Lord, supply us,

nor thy delights deny us,

whose hearts to thee draw nigh.

2. O stream of lave past telling,

O purest fountain, welling

from out the Savior’s side!

We faint with thirst; revive us,

of thine abundance give us,

and all we need provide.

3. O Jesus, by thee bidden,

we here adore thee,

hidden in forms of bread and wine.

Grant when the veil is riven,

we may behold, in heaven,

thy countenance divine.
