Lord, the ancient types and symbols

   As our all Thyself portrayed;

As was shadowed in those figures,

   Real to us Thou now art made.

Contemplating such a picture,

   As we on its wonders gaze,

How we marvel at Thy riches

   And our song of worship raise.

 2 

Lord, Thou art our true Passover,

   God passed over us thru Thee;

By Thyself and Thy redemption

   We with God have harmony.

Thou, the Lamb of God, redeemedst us

   With Thyself and with Thy blood;

We apply Thy blood, our ransom,

   Eating Thee, our real food.

 3 

Lord, Thou art the Bread from heaven,

   The unleavened Bread of life;

Eating Thee, with Thee we mingle,

   Ceasing from our sin and strife.

Lamb and Bread are both Thy figures,

   Showing Thou art life to us;

Feasting on Thee at Thy table,

   We enjoy Thy riches thus.

 4 

Lord, Thou art the Heav'nly Manna,

   As our daily food supply;

Strengthening and energizing,

   All our need to satisfy.

Living Rock Thou also art, Lord,

   Cleft for us with life to flow;

Drinking of this living water,

   Thirst is quenched, Thy life we know.

 5 

Lord, Thou art the Land of Canaan —

   Elevated, rich and good,

Flowing with both milk and honey

   In a glorious plenitude.

By Thy surplus God we worship,

   In Thy fellowship we move;

Thus in love we're joined together

   And God's building we will prove.
