 1 

O Bread to pilgrims given,

   O Food for saints to eat,

O Manna sent from heaven,

   For heav'n-born natures meet;

Give us, for Thee long pining,

   To eat till richly filled;

Till, earth's delights resigning,

   Our every wish is stilled.

 

 2 

O Water, life bestowing,

   From out the Savior's heart,

A fountain purely flowing,

   A fount of love Thou art.

Oh, let us, freely tasting,

   Our burning thirst assuage;

Thy sweetness, never wasting,

   Avails from age to age.

 

 3 

Jesus, this feast receiving,

   We Thee unseen adore;

Thy faithful word believing,

   We take, and doubt no more.

Give us, Thou true and loving,

   On earth to live in Thee;

Then, God the veil removing,

   Thy glorious face to see.
