1 

The tree of life, how sweet the fruit,

   With God as life complete.

I once was dead, but now I live,

   Was starved, but now I eat.

 2 

'Twas God that brought me to the tree,

   With Christ Himself as meat;

How precious did that tree become

   When I began to eat.

 3 

The Lord Himself is food to me,

   He is my life supply;

He will my pure enjoyment be,

   None else can satisfy.

 4 

I freely eat this living tree,

   For eating is the way

To put God's life inside of me,

   To live by Him today.
