220. Bread for the World

1 Bread for the world, in mercy broken!
Wine of the soul, in mercy shed!
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in Whose death our sins are dead!

2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken;
Look on the tears by sinners shed;
Thine, Thine the feast, to us the token
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.

3 ‘Twas by Thy death, Thy love revealing,
That full atonement could be made;
‘Tis by Thy stripes our wounds are healing;
And death shall ne’er our souls invade.

4 Look to the hands once pierced and bleeding,
Look to the cross and crimson tide;
Look! to thy Saviour interceding;
Look! ‘twas for thee He bled and died.
