Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #551 (1997) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D First Line: Bread of the world, in mercy broken Lyrics: 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 thy feast to us the token
that by thy grace our souls are fed.

Pain vivant donné pour nos âmes,
vin pour nos êtres répandu,
paroles d'amour et de flammes,
mort où l'espoir nous est rendu;
vois notre destin misérable,
les pleurs versés sur nos malheurs,
nourris-nous à ta sainte table
par ta bonté, par tes douleurs. Topics: Languages other than English French; Lent; Repentance; Sacraments and Ordinances Communion; Sin / Sinner; Tears / Weeping Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Languages: English; French Tune Title: RENDEZ À DIEU
