Jesu, we Thy promise plead

Verse 1
Jesus, we thy promise plead,
Grant the things for which we pray,
Give us, Lord, our daily bread
This and every happy day,
Now our bodies’ strength renew,
Feed our needy spirits too.

Verse 2
Comfort every longing heart
Longing thee alone to know,
Nourishment divine impart,
Immaterial bread bestow,
Bread, by which our souls may live,
Give, thyself for ever give!
