396. Bread of the world in mercy broken

1 Bread of 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,
and make your feast to us the token
that by your grace our souls are fed.
