Lyics

THE food on which thy children live,

Great God, is thine alone to give;

And we, for grace receiv'd, would raise

A sacred song of love and praise.



How fast, how full, how rich, how free,

Bless'd Jesus, thy rich treasures be!

To the full fountain of our joys,

We gladly come for fresh supplies.



For this we wait upon thee, Lord;

For this we listen to thy word;

Descend like gentle show'rs of rain,

Nor let our souls attend in vain.
