Lyics

BREAD of heaven, on thee we feed,

For thy flesh in meat indeed;

Ever let our souls be fed

With this true and living bread.



Vine of heaven, thy blood supplies

This blest cup of sacrifice;

Lord, thy wounds our healing give;

To thy cross we look and live.



Day by day with strength supplied,

Through the life oh him who died,

Lord of life, O let us be

Rooted, grafted, built on thee.
