Jesus, with heavenly bread

Verse 1
Jesus, with heavenly bread
Thou dost thy people feed,
Thoughtful of thy meanest guest
Thou distributest the meat,
Master of the gospel-feast
Thou bestow’st the power to eat.

Verse 2
All, all the blessings prove
Of thy redeeming love:
Thou who didst the Spirit buy,
Dost to each the Gift impart,
Dost the purchas’d Grace apply,
Pardon write on every heart.
