Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #269 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
Thy chosen pilgrim flock
With manna in the wilderness,
With water from the rock.
2 We would not live by bread alone,
But by thy word of grace,
In strength of which we travel on
To our abiding place. A-men.
3 Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Thy table in our heart.
4 Lord, sup with us in love divine;
Thy Body and thy Blood,
That living bread, that heavenly wine,
Be our immortal food.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage; Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR (DUNDEE)
