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 vast, how full, how rich, how free,

Blest 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.
