Verse 1
Come let us lengthen out the feast,
To thankfulness improve,
God in his gifts delight to taste,
And pay them back in love.

Verse 2
His providence supplies our needs,
And life and strength imparts;
His open hand our bodies feeds,
And fills with joy our hearts.

Verse 3
But will he not our souls sustain,
And nourish with his grace?
Yes: for thou wilt not say, in vain
My people seek my face.

Verse 4
See then we take thee at thy word,
With confidence draw nigh,
We claim, and of thy Spirit, Lord,
Expect a fresh supply.

Verse 5
The sinner, when he comes to thee,
His fond pursuit gives o’er,
From nature’s sickly cravings free,
He pines for earth no more.

Verse 6
Lord, we believe; and taste thee good,
Thee all-sufficient own,
And hunger after heavenly food,
And thirst for God alone.
