Hymn/Song Information

Jesus thou art the living bread By which our need




Jesus, thou art the living bread
By which our needy souls are fed:
In thee alone thy children find
Enough to fill the empty mind.


Without this bread I starve and die;
No other can my need supply;
But this will suit my wretched case,
Abroad, at home, in every place.


'Tis this relieves the hungry poor
Who ask for bread at mercy's door
This living food descends from heaven,
As manna to the Jews was given.


This precious food my heart revives:
What strength, what nourishment it gives!
O let me evermore be fed
With this divine, celestial bread
