1 For me the “Bread of life” was broken,
Redemption’s song my spirit stirred,
For me Christ’s messages were spoken,
Now I am feasting on His word.

Refrain:
My precious Saviour has assured me,
That I am safe when by His side;
My precious Saviour has procured me
A mansion bright, where I’ll abide.

2 For me the Lamb, so meek and lowly,
Was crucified on Calvary;
For me the Lamb, so pure and holy,
Rose from the grave triumphantly. [Refrain]

3 For me the fount of love is flowing,
There I refresh my weary soul;
For me the moments sweet are going,
And I am coming to the goal. [Refrain]
