612a. O Jesu, blessed Lord, to thee

1 O Jesu, blessèd Lord, to thee
my heartfelt thanks for ever be,
who hast so lovingly bestowed
on me thy body and thy blood.

2 Break forth, my soul, for joy and say,
'What wealth is come to me today!
My Saviour dwells within me now;
how blest am I! How good art thou!'
