And can we forbear, In tasting our food

Verse 1
And can we forbear in tasting our food
The grace to declare and goodness of God!
Our Father in heaven, with joy we partake
The gifts thou hast given for Jesus’s sake.

Verse 2
In thee do we live: thy daily supplies
As manna receive dropt down from the skies:
In thanks we endeavour thy gifts to restore,
And praise thee forever, when time is no more.
