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 love 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 risen, we may behold, in heaven, thy countenance divine.
