1 Let us adore th’eternal Word,
’Tis He our souls hath fed;
Thou art our living stream, O Lord,
And Thou th’immortal bread.
2 The manna came from lower skies,
But Jesus from above,
Where freshest springs of pleasure rise,
And rivers flow with love.
3 The Jews, the Fathers, died at last,
Who eat that heav’nly bread;
But these provisions which we taste
Can raise us from the dead.
4 Blest be the Lord, that gives His flesh
To nourish dying men;
And often spreads His table fresh,
Lest we should faint again.
5 Our souls shall draw their heav’nly breath
While Jesus finds supplies;
Nor shall our graces sink to death,
For Jesus never dies.
6 Daily our mortal flesh decays,
But Christ our life shall come;
His unresisted power shall raise
Our bodies from the tomb.
