Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #235 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
Thy chosen pilgrim flock,
With manna in the wilderness,
With water from the rock.
2 Hungry and thirsty, faint and weak,
As Thou when here below,
Our souls the joys celestial seek
Which from Thy sorrows flow.
3 We would not live by bread alone,
But by that word of grace,
In strength of which we travel on
To our abiding-place.
4 Be known to us in breaking bread,
But do not then depart,
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
Thy table in our heart.
5 There sup with us in love divine;
Thy body and Thy blood,
That living bread, that heavenly wine,
Be our immortal food.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless]
