XXXIX. Shew Bread

1 How rich the types of future grace,
Which thro' the law are spread!
Aloud they preach th'eternal Son,
The true, the living bread.

2 From day to day till Jesus came,
His mystick form was shown;
Where all distinctions lost to view,
Of many made but one.

3 In him, nor Jew nor Gentile's found,
Christ's body forms one bread.
And all the diff'rent grains of wheat
Are one, in Christ the head.
