Jesus, my manna be:
O living waters, burst
out of the rock for me!
2 O bruised and broken bread,
my life-long needs supply:
as living souls are fed,
so feed me, or I die.
3 O true lifegiving vine,
let me your goodness prove:
by your life sweeten mine,
refresh my soul with love.
4 Rough paths my feet have trod
since first their course began:
renew me, bread of God,
restore me, Son of man.
5 For still the desert lies
behind me and before:
O living waters, rise
within me evermore! Topics: Easter 1 The Bread of Life; Epiphany 3, Revelation Signs of Glory; God's Church Holy Communion; The Promise of Redemption Moses Used With Tune: IBSTONE
