Verse 1
Fountain of all the good we see
Streaming from heav’n above,
Saviour! Our faith we act on thee,
And exercise our love.
Verse 2
’Tis not the outward food we eat
Doth this new strength afford,
’Tis thou, whose presence makes it meat,
Thou the life-giving word.
Verse 3
Man doth not live by bread alone,
Whate’er thou wilt can feed;
Thy power converts the bread to stone,
And turns the stone to bread.
Verse 4
Thou art our food: we taste thee now,
In thee we move and breathe,
Our bodies’ only life art thou,
And all besides is death!
