O Jesus Christ, Thou Bread of Life

Author: Johann Rist Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Bread Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, thou Bread of Life, To sinners freely given Who of their evil ways repent, Cast out all earthly leaven, And graciously my heart prepare The Holy Supper now to share, With Thee in blest communion. 2 Deign to Thine altar, blessed Lord, By Thine own hand to lead me, There to renew Thy covenant, And with Thy gifts to feed me; O give me, in Thy flesh and blood, To taste and see that Thou are good; My soul refresh and quicken. 3 O give me strength to walk with Thee, And grace Thy steps to follow, Thus to fulfill the last of God, To Him my service hallow. Bless now Thy sacramental guest, Take Thine abode within my breast, And nevermore forsake me. 4 Cleanse me of all iniquity, Renew my heart within me; My soul so fully occupy That evil shall not win me. As Thou didst suffer on the cross, So teach Thy child to suffer loss, Through faith in Thee, my Saviour. 5 Thy grace, O God, I merit less Than strips of Thy chastising; In all my sins and dire distress I yet were agonizing, Save for the willing sacrifice Of Christ, who bought us with a price, And earned our full salvation. 6 Sore stricken, unto Thee I come, For grace and succor pleading, Mine eyes are blind; to Thee I turn For light and gentle leading. Whene'er I stumble, raise me up; When faint and famished, from Thy cup, Lord, tender me Thy healing! 7 Come, Saviour dear, with me abide, Thy love in me upwelling; O Holy Spirit, be my Guide, And make my heart Thy dwelling. In all my griefs my comfort be, Grant me that unity with Thee Which life nor death can sever. 8 Before Thy sacred table, Lord, My prayers grow faint and falter; Now make me worthy to partake The bounties of Thine altar. If one with Thee Thou make me there. I know that also I shall share With Thee the joy of heaven. Amen. Used With Tune: DU LIFVETS BRÖD

Hallelujah. 2 Light grappled with darkness, Death wrestled with life; Now light comes triumphant From out the dread strife. While death lieth vanquished, Hope kindles again The torch of the faithful To shine among men. Ye sorrowing women Who hither have sped, Why seek ye the living To-day 'mongst the dead? For Jesus is risen. Hallelujah. 3 Now God in His heaven And man are at one, The grave is a pathway, Through Christ, to the throne. Ye friends that are bending In grief at the cross, Now lift your heads gladly, Ye suffered no loss. O flock, scattered widely, Return to the fold: Thy Shepherd still liveth, And now as of old He leadeth thee Godward. Hallelujah. 4 'Mid storms and upheavals His Church stands secure. The truth of His gospel Shall ever endure. Lo! unto all peoples His message shall speed, Proclaiming 'mid turmoil The Lord's mighty deed, Proclaiming the Saviour Who died for all men, And, having arisen, Now liveth again, Firstfruits of the sleeping. Hallelujah. 5 Then weep not, ye faithful, Yield not to despair: The night soon is over, The day shall appear. Though earth shall embrace you When death lays you low, The seed of His sowing To harvests will grow; And soon shall the Sower Return to His field With angels to gather Its heavenly yield, From evil tares severed.

The corn that falls into the earth From darkness springs in fullness forth, In season amply giving The life-bread to the living. 3 O Prince of Life, now to the gloom Of earth consigned in sorrow, My life so guide, that in my tomb I wait the blessèd morrow.
