Give us this day, all bounteous Lord

Verse 1
Give us this day, all bounteous Lord,
Our sacramental bread,
Who thus his sacrifice record
That suffer’d in our stead.

Verse 2
Reveal in every soul thy Son,
And let us taste the grace
Which brings assur’d salvation down
To all who seek thy face.

Verse 3
Who here commemorate his death
To us his life impart,
The loving filial Spirit breathe
Into my waiting heart.

Verse 4
My earnest of eternal bliss
Let my Redeemer be,
And if even now he present is,
Now let him speak in me.
