O food to pilgrims given,
O bread of life from heaven,
O manna from on high!
We hunger, Lord, supply us,
Nor Thy delights deny us,
Whose hearts to Thee draw nigh.
O stream of love past telling,
O purest fountain welling
From out the Savior's side!
We faint with thirst; revive us,
Of Thine abundance give us,
And all we need provide.
O Jesus, by Thee bidden,
We here adore Thee,
Hidden in forms of bread and wine.
Grant when the veil is risen,
We may behold, in heaven,
Thy countenance divine.
