1 Bread of heaven, on thee we feed, for thy Flesh is meat indeed; ever may our souls be fed with this true and living Bread; day by day with strength supplied, through the life of him who died.
2 Vine of heaven, thy Blood supplies this blest cup of sacrifice; Lord, thy wounds our healing give, to thy cross we look and live: Jesus, may we ever be grafted, rooted, built in thee.
