Hymn/Song Information

O Food to pilgrims given




O Food of men wayfaring,
The bread of angels sharing,
O Manna from on high!
We hunger; Lord, supply us,
Nor Thy delights deny us,
Whose hearts to Thee draw nigh.


O stream of love past telling,
O purest fountain, welling
From out the Savior’s side!
We faint with thirst; revive us,
Of Thine abundance give us,
And all we need provide.


O Jesus, by Thee bidden,
We here adore Thee, hidden
’Neath forms of bread and wine.
Grant when the veil is riven,
We may behold, in heaven,
Thy countenance divine.


---Alternative verses---


O Food to pilgrims given,
O Bread of life from heaven,
O Manna from on high!
We hunger, Lord, supply us,
nor thy delights deny us,
whose hearts to thee draw nigh.
