- 1Bread of heav'n, on Thee we feed,
- For Thy flesh is meat indeed;
- Ever may our souls be fed
- With this true and living Bread;
- Day by day with strength supplied,
- Thro' the life of Him Who died.
- 2Vine of heav'n, Thy blood supplies
- This best cup of sacrifice;
- Lord, Thy wounds our healing give,
- To Thy Cross we look and live:
- Jesus, may we ever be
- Grafted, rooted, built in Thee.
