Text: | Bread of the World (Tu es notre pain véritable) |
Author: | Reginald Heber |
Translator (into French): | L. Guillou |
Tune: | RENDEZ À DIEU |
Composer (melody): | Louis Bourgeois |
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:
look on the heart by sorrow broken,
look on the tears by sinners shed;
and be your feast to us the token
that by your grace our souls are fed.
