825. For the Lord's Supper

1 Lord, send thy Spirit down
On babes that long to learn;
Open our eyes, and make us wise,
Thy body to discern.

2 ’Tis by thy word we live,
And not by bread alone;
The word of truth from thy blest mouth,
O make it clearly known.

3 With what we have received
Impart thy quickening power;
We would be fed with living bread,
And live for evermore.
