Verse 1
Form’d in the region of the air,
The figure might their strength repair,
A while from death reprieve,
But the true Bread from heaven sent down
Who taste in God’s eternal Son
We evermore shall live.
Verse 2
While in this wilderness we dwell,
Our living, quickning Principle,
Thou, Saviour, from above
Dost with Thyself vouchsafe to feed,
And daily thro’ thy members spread
The life of faith and love.
Verse 3
Long as eternal ages last,
Our food shall neither cloy nor waste,
Our souls with love supplied
Shall on Jehovah’s fulness feast,
In Thee alone forever blest,
Forever satisfied.
